Many rows have zero seats for some categories. For example, Fire Officer has one UR seat only and no seat for ST, SC or OBC. The notice says vacancies may change at the discretion of CSPTCL, and category-wise numbers may change because the recruitment is subject to the outcome of SLP(C) 19668/2022 in the Supreme Court.
For posts common to all three companies, you must give company preferences as 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The company is allotted on final merit, your choice and seats available, and no change of company will be entertained.
