By Tier -III what comes to our mind is- Interview/Computer Proficiency Test/ Skill Test /Document Verification. To your surprise, the commission has added one more item to the list of Tier -III, that is a DESCRIPTIVE PAPER.
There will be minimum passing marks for this test and its score will not be added into total marks of a candidate. All candidates (interview post, non-interview post and tax assistant) will be subjected to this.
