The matter has been examined and it is clarified that on the analogy of provisions contained in Para 219(j)(ii) and (iii) of IREM, Vol-I, all those candidates who score not less than 60% marks in the written test (professional ability), should be called for classroom lecture trial, and the final panel should be drawn in the order of seniority from amongst those who secure a minimum of 60% marks in the professional ability and 60% marks in the aggregate.
