A category-wise waiting list will also be published, valid for one year from the date of issue or until the next recruitment process for the post is completed, whichever is earlier. Any dispute arising during the recruitment process will be finally decided based on the recommendation of the District-level Selection Committee, under the chairmanship of the Collector-cum-Chairman, District Health Committee, and this decision will be binding on all applicants.
