Instant writ petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking to consider her candidature for the post of Teacher Level-I pursuant to the advertisement dated 16.12.2022, under the [2025:RJ-JP:25903] (2 of 3) [CW-20444/2023] category of General (EWS) and if she is found in merit, appointment be accorded to her under such category. 3. It has transpired that initially in the online application form, petitioner indicated her category as General but later on, she was allowed to convert her category to General EWS by the Board. In the written examination, petitioner scored 188.3504 marks, and as per final result dated 31.08.2023, the last cut off marks in the category of General (EWS) is 181.2479, hence, petitioner is higher meritorious than the last selected candidate by the Board. 4.

In the list enclosed with the order dated 01.09.2023, the name of petitioner finds place at Serial No. 183. 5. Counsel for petitioner submits that petitioner has completed such shortfall and has submitted her certificate of EWS as well as affidavit required. As such, her candidature is required to be considered for appointment on merits. 6. Learned counsel for Selection Board, does not dispute that the candidature of petitioner may be considered under the category of General (EWS). 7. In the above referred facts and taking into consideration the fact that petitioner has scored higher marks than the last cut off for the category of General EWS, this Court finds that her candidature is required to be considered by the Board for appointment. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of with direction that the petitioner shall submit a detailed representation before the Respondent within a period of four weeks. [2025:RJ-JP:25903] (3 of 3) [CW-20444/2023] 8.
