What is the arrangement of candidates during the CBE Document Verification process?

The arrangement of candidates during the Computer-Based Examination (CBE) Document Verification process is based on merit. This means that candidates are called for document verification in the order of their performance in the examination, typically starting from the highest scorers down to the lowest. This merit-based approach ensures fairness and transparency in the selection process, as it directly correlates to the candidates' qualifications and competencies as demonstrated through their exam results.

Using merit to arrange candidates prioritizes those who have shown the greatest potential or capability, reflecting the core objective of recruitment in competitive examinations. It ensures that the candidates who performed better academically or in the specific assessment are given precedence, which is essential in maintaining a standard within the recruitment process.

The other options, such as random selection, first come first serve, or by age, do not correspond to the principles of meritocracy that underpin most competitive examinations. Random selection would not consider a candidate's performance, first come first serve could disadvantage higher-scoring candidates simply based on luck, and arranging by age would not be relevant to the capability or qualifications of the candidates. This merit-based approach is thus integral to ensuring the recruitment process is fair and aligned with the candidates' demonstrated skills and knowledge.
