"Candidates qualified in the test will be placed according to their marks in descending order in respective categories"..What does this line mean?..It means candidates who had their interview very earlier(dec8 - 12) have high chances for selection since their cutoff in written will be high compared to others?..Please clarify my doubt...

Time: 9 AM

I reached venue on about 8.30 AM. The venue is in outskirts of city so I depart earlier. At the gate, security checked my identity and bags were being checked. In the ground of center, there were four blocks each for panel. I was told to sit in panel 1 block. There a person, who was validating our docs gave me a underwriting to write. Then he instructs us about how we should organize our docs. There were 6-8 newspapers for each panel candidate. Water, tea, coffee and biscuits were also for candidates. My turn was in last (18th) and validation process was also happening as per the turn so I was free till my turn came. So I read newspapers and ate the snacks. When the docs was validated the verification process was being executed in another office where the docs was verified with original certificate. Please note if you are employed then you have to carry offer letter and experience/relieving letter if you have resigned in past. Since I have not resigned yet, I took the offer letter. The verification and interview were being executed parallel. My verification process completed on about 11.45 AM. Then I was waiting for my call. At last I was called on 1.15 PM.
Before entering the room, I thought there will be a table and the panel would be sitting surrounding it but I was socked to see the situation. When I enter the room, after knocking and taking permission, I saw there was a drawing room kind of room. Panel were seating in sofa set. I greeted them and they request me to sit. The position of sofa and chair for candidate was in such a way that they can analyze you in full way. They can even see if you legs are shacking or not 😁 There were 4 men and 1 woman.
