committed an error by not mentioning their medium and such other
particulars in the answer sheets.
2) They made representations dated
20.03.2017 and 31.03.2017 to the SSC for rectification of the
errors in answer sheets pertaining to Tier-III examination.

approached this Tribunal.
5) Out of 33053 candidates, who appeared in Tier-III
examination only 484 were found to have violated the Instructions
mentioned above.

applicants were non-essential and not substantive.
2) Cancellation of
their candidature for these minor lapses was unwarranted.
3) Enough
material was available with the respondents to evaluate them
despite the lapses committed by the applicants.

the candidature of the applicants and declare their result on the
basis of pure merit list, if they are not found ineligible for any other
