He recalled that when he took the salute at a recent passing-out
parade, he found that the turn-out was the largest ever in any one parade.
He said the fact that so many came forward to serve in the

Candidates for the post of Assistant Officer Class II (Male)

Successful candidates can now be engaged on day-to-day terms
at full pay within four weeks of posting their application forms.
