💡 Expert Tip for Selection
Shortlisting for the Mains exam is usually done at a ratio of 15 to 30 times the number of vacancies. Therefore, even if you have a moderate PET score, you should apply for posts with higher vacancy counts (like Technical Assistant or Lower PCS) to increase your chances of getting a seat in the examination hall.
