      He may intimate change, if any, in this regard to the

      agency.
      The candidates who are declared qualified in the (Preliminary)
      examination shall be required to apply for (Main) written examination separately on the
      prescribed application form to be supplied by the Commission. The decision of the
      Commission as to the eligibility or otherwise of a candidate for admission to the main
      Written examination will be final and no correspondence / personal inquiry will be
      entertained therefor.
      The eligibility conditions of the candidates called for viva-voce
