📝 How to Check Your Scrutiny 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: Your documents match the requirements. No action is needed.
- Not Eligible / Rejected: The "Remarks" column indicates the specific reason (e.g., "Documents not provided", "ANM certificate not received", "Educational qualification not in relevant field").
📌 Step 2: Submit a Grievance (If Required)
If you have been marked "Not Eligible" or "Rejected" and believe the decision is incorrect, you must:
- Prepare a formal representation or grievance letter.
- Attach self-attested supporting documents (e.g., your ANM certificate, 12th marksheet, Nursing Council registration).
- Send the representation via email to: dask.aiihph@gov.in.
- Ensure you copy (cc) the email to: recttsscer.wb-dopt@gov.in.

⚠️ Critical Warnings
- Strict Grievance Deadline: The Commission will not entertain any grievance received after 13 July 2026 (23:00 hours). Do not wait until the last day to send your email.
- Mandatory ANM Certificate: A large number of rejections occurred because candidates failed to provide the ANM/ANM(R)/HWF certificate or supplied a B.Sc. Nursing certificate instead. B.Sc. Nursing is NOT considered a valid equivalent qualification for this post (as per Row 117 of the scrutiny list).
- Nursing Council Registration is mandatory: Having an ANM certificate is not enough. You must also hold valid registration with a State Nursing Council.
- 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.
