How Merit and Selection Preference Work

Educational merit operates alongside the preference sequence under the Government Order dated 17 September 2025. Local BPL groups come before the stated local APL groups. The sequence for each centre is:

1. First preference: widowed, legally divorced or abandoned women belonging to below-poverty-line (BPL) families in the same gram sabha or urban ward.
2. Next, if no candidate is available in the first group: other BPL women from that gram sabha or ward.
3. Then, if the preceding groups have no candidate: widowed, legally divorced or abandoned women from above-poverty-line (APL) families in the same gram sabha or ward.
4. After those groups: other APL women from the same gram sabha or ward, if no candidate is available in the earlier groups.
5. Where no eligible candidate from these groups is found in the gram sabha, category-wise consideration extends to the concerned Nyay Panchayat using the same sequence.

A widow needs a death certificate from the Gram Panchayat Officer or urban local body and a certified family-register copy. Divorced or abandoned applicants need a court-issued legal order. BPL income limits follow Social Welfare Section-2 Government Order No. 22/2015/2123/26-2-2015 dated 14 September 2015, as amended. The selection committee or appointing authority may cancel a selection.
