This announcement pertains to Advertisement No. GPRB/202324/1, with both lists now accessible on the board's official website for all candidates to review.
Post-Verification Announcement and Provisional Nature
The release of these lists follows the comprehensive document verification exercise that was conducted from February 5 to February 10, 2026. Board officials have emphasized that the current lists are strictly provisional and do not grant any automatic right to appointment. The final selection list will be issued only after the completion of all pending verification procedures, ensuring thorough scrutiny.
Ongoing Certificate Verification for Reserved Categories
Authorities have confirmed that caste certificate verification for candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC) and Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) categories is being meticulously carried out by the Social Justice and Empowerment Department. Simultaneously, verification for Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates is under the purview of the Scheduled Caste Development Department.
The scrutiny of documents for numerous candidates has already been finalized, while the remaining cases are actively under process. The respective departments will assess the validity of each certificate and determine the candidate's eligibility for category-specific benefits. Crucially, the final merit list will be prepared only after these critical decisions are formally received and integrated.
Category-Wise Cut-off Marks for Provisional Selection
The board has disclosed detailed category-wise cut-off marks for the provisional selection list. In the General category, the cut-off stands at 229.75 for male candidates and 216.25 for female candidates, with ex-servicemen requiring 128.25.
