Within these totals, seats are also reserved for women candidates in each category as per government rules, and 8 posts are earmarked for ex-servicemen. The notification states that no seats are currently reserved for persons with disabilities (PwD) under this particular recruitment, since backlog PwD vacancies for this cadre are being filled separately under a special recruitment drive.
