If an SC category candidate is shortlisted for an interview under the UR list through a cutoff based on GATE Score and given an interview for the recruitment process, he will be considered for that particular post in the UR category or SC category in the final merit list.
Is there any legal provision where such an SC candidate can be selected either under UR or SC category based on the final cut off for the final merit list that benefits them most and to fill the reserved seat / Unreserved Seat?
