How are UR candidates grouped for merit listing during the selection process?

In the selection process for BHEL Engineer and Supervisor Trainee positions, candidates from the unreserved (UR) category are indeed grouped with reserved categories for merit listing purposes. This approach ensures that the merit list reflects a comprehensive representation of candidates from various backgrounds, while maintaining the integrity of the selection process by acknowledging merit in conjunction with reservation policies.

Utilizing a combined merit list helps in creating a more equitable opportunity for candidates who may have faced systemic barriers. By grouping UR candidates with those from reserved categories, the selection process can be viewed as an effort to balance meritocracy with inclusivity, allowing for a more diverse range of candidates to be considered for available positions. This method aligns with affirmative action policies and ensures that a fair assessment of all candidates is conducted.
