(ii) The notification for Open Advertisement should specify the cut- off date for fulfillment of applicants for the age, educational and sports norms. The notification should also specify the self attested copies of acceptable documents and photograph which must be submitted alongwith the applications.

(iii) A Personnel Officer alongwith another officer may be· nominated by the Recruitment Committee who will also verify the documents of the applicants appearing in trials. The officers so nominated will also ensure that there is no case of impersonation at the time of trial.

This may be ensured by all concerned during the sports recruitment.
