While, the Commission welcomes constructive criticism, certain individuals tend to pull down the image and prestige of the institution at the slightest available opportunity instead of trying to uphold. It is admitted that Routine for Combined Technical Services Examination 2021 was uploaded in the Commission’s website on 20^th September, 2021 and a revised/updated routine was uploaded again on 24^th September, 2021 which was necessitated on account of the post of 1(one) post of Archivist having been reconsidered in accordance with the user department’s clarification letter received vide No. AC-6/95-Vol-III(pt.) dated 21^st September, 2021 wherein the requisite educational qualification for Archivist should have (i) Post Graduate in History or (ii) an MA with Diploma in Archives and that Candidates in History should not be rejected on the basis of “No Diploma in Archives”.
