candidates as per their preference of participating organisations. Please note that such a candidate will not be
adjusted against a reserved post. However his/her provisional allotment to an Organisation shall be done by

therein. Any queries in this regard shall be directed to the participating organisations only. A reserve list to the
extent of approximately 10 percent of the vacancies under each category may be kept, subject to the availability
of candidates. This does not guarantee provisional allotment to/recruitment by the Participating Organisation(s)/
other financial organisations. In the event of Participating Organisations/ other financial organisations providing
further vacancies during April 2016-March 2017, provisional allotment will be carried out for the candidates in
the reserve list. However if no vacancy is furnished by the Participating Organisations/ other financial
organisations owing to exigencies or otherwise during the validity period the candidates under the reserve list
