📋 Preliminary Scrutiny Status Summary
A total of 30 candidates have been reviewed in the Annexure for the post of Clerk (ER13125). Based on the uploaded documents, the Commission has categorized candidates into four main statuses. The list is purely provisional and subject to correction.
📌 Status Breakdown
| Scrutiny Status | Number of Candidates |
|---|---|
| Eligible (Clear) | 04 |
| Not Eligible | 20 |
| Rejected | 03 |
| Provisional | 03 |
| Total | 30 |
📌 Reasons for 'Not Eligible' Status
The most common reason for disqualification was an educational qualification mismatch. Candidates were marked "Not Eligible" with the specific remark: "Educational Qualification not in the relevant field". This primarily affected candidates who did not have Commerce as their main subject in Class 12, or those who passed 12th with Arts/Science but not Commerce.
Another significant reason was the non-submission of No Objection Certificate (NOC) from CGCE and the improper submission of Annexure-X and Annexure-X(A) for candidates who had applied through the CGCE (Central Government Computerisation Centre) channel. Additionally, several candidates were marked ineligible because their OBC certificates were not issued in the proper format or were issued beyond the closing date.
📌 Reasons for 'Rejected' Status
Candidates were outright rejected with the remark: "Documents not received". These candidates failed to upload their original certificates, mark sheets, and category certificates to the portal by the 03.03.2026 deadline. There is no recourse for this error at the grievance stage.
📌 Reasons for 'Provisional' Status
Several candidates were marked 'Provisional' due to certificate-related discrepancies. The specific remarks include:
- "OBC Certificate not issued in proper format." – Candidates who submitted OBC certificates that did not adhere to the government-prescribed format.
- "OBC Certificate issued beyond closing date." – Candidates whose OBC certificates were issued after the crucial date of 01.08.2025 or the application closing date.
- "No Objection Certificate not submitted by CGCE. Annexure-X and Annexure X (A) not properly submitted by CGCE." – Candidates who applied through the CGCE route did not complete the required formalities.

📝 How to Check Your Status & File a Grievance
Candidates can follow these steps to check their current status and take corrective action if necessary.
📌 Step 1: Check the Scrutiny List
- Download the official ANNEXURE file from the link provided in the Special Dashboard below.
- Locate your name or Registration No. or Roll No. in the list.
- Check your designated "Scrutiny Status":
- Eligible (Clear): Your documents match the requirements. No action is needed.
- Not Eligible / Rejected / Provisional: The "Remarks" column indicates the specific reason for your status.
📌 Step 2: Submit a Grievance (If Required)
If you have been marked "Not Eligible", "Rejected", or "Provisional" and believe the decision is incorrect, you must:
- Prepare a formal representation or grievance letter.
- Attach self-attested supporting documents to substantiate your claim (e.g., corrected OBC certificate, corrected 12th marksheet showing Commerce).
- Send the representation via email to: establishment-nl@nationallibrary.gov.in.
- Ensure you copy (cc) the email to: recttsscer.wb-dopt@gov.in.
- Your email must include your Roll No., Registration No., and Post Code (ER13125).
Deadline: All representations must be sent by 26 July 2026 (23:00 hours).
⚠️ Critical Warnings
- Strict Grievance Deadline: The Commission will not entertain any grievance received after 26 July 2026 (23:00 hours). Do not wait until the last day to send your email.
- Mandatory Commerce in 12th: A large number of rejections occurred because candidates did not have Commerce as their main subject in Class 12. A general 12th pass without Commerce is insufficient.
- OBC Certificate Validity: Candidates marked "Provisional" due to OBC certificates not issued in proper format or issued beyond the closing date must obtain a fresh certificate valid as of the crucial date and submit it via email immediately.
- CGCE NOC Requirement: Candidates who applied through the CGCE channel must ensure they have submitted their No Objection Certificate and completed Annexure-X formalities. Missing these documents is a common reason for rejection.
- Documents must be self-attested: Ensure all supporting documents you send via email are clearly self-attested. Non-attested documents may be rejected without review.
- No consideration for late uploads: Candidates who failed to upload their documents by 03.03.2026 have been strictly excluded from the recruitment process and cannot file a grievance to re-upload them now.
