How Many Vacancies Are There in LAHD-SSRB Leh Recruitment 2026?
How to read the 216 total: the notice prints 216 as the grand total. That figure counts the PwD, ex-servicemen (ESM) and sportspersons (OSP) seats along with the category seats. The category columns (UR, ST, SC, ALC, EWS) alone add up to 197, so never add them up to 216 yourself. By category, ST-reserved seats number 164, EWS 23, UR 7, ALC 3 and SC none. The 19 horizontal seats are PwD 6, ESM 7 and OSP 6.
