regarding the Roll Number(s) to be assigned and the venue for examination. It
should be immediately followed by a written communication to CMC indicating the
names, Roll Numbers so assigned along with a copyof the application submitted by
the candiates.In case of any contigency, the Circles may contact DDG(RP) [Tel.

financial year-based vacancy year would fall on January 1st immediately preceeding such vacancy year,
the first of the vacancy year, ie.January 1st itself would be taken as the crucial date
irrespective of whether the ACRs are written financial year wise or calender
