ICG receives a large number of queries with respect to the recruitment of Navik (GD), Navik (DB) and Yantrik. The queries sought by the candidates through various modes (e-mail messages, letter, grievance and RTI application) will not be answered if the information is already available in public domain on ICG recruitment website (FAQ Section), CGEPT advertisement and candidate’s login id.

The entire checking of the result and shortlisting of candidates for Stage II / III is executed through the result processing software and there is no manual intervention in result processing software. Particulars or copy of question paper and response sheet cannot be provided in accordance with Chapter II Rule 7 (9) of RTI Act as these are confidential in nature.

The merit position of the candidate is not displayed in candidate’s login intentionally so that the candidates do not feel superior or inferior in comparison to other candidates. The merit position is likely to discourage the candidates from applying in future CGEPT batches if they are very low in merit. ICG wants to encourage every candidate to apply for next CGEPT irrespective of his merit position in previous CGEPT. The candidate can check his own marks and the cut off for the respective category in order to appraise him of how much more efforts he has to put up in his future endeavours. The cut off for other category in which the candidate did not appear in CGEPT will not be displayed as the information does not pertain to the respective candidate. In fact, if the candidate is shortlisted for Stage II / III then neither the marks scored nor the category cut off is displayed in order to avoid any superiority complex / unnecessary comparison among the shortlisted candidates for Stage II / III.
