Important Caution / Check Points
Verify the exact number of posts — many sources list 179, though you asked about 197. The 197 number might be a misprint or for a slightly different drive.
Confirm the exact venue, timing, reporting details for the walk‐in (these may vary by region/trade).
Verify stipend/salary, training duration, regularisation conditions etc in the official document.
Make sure to check for reserved category relaxations, document requirements, and ensure you reach on time to the walk-in.
