Missing data for CCAA (Course Completed Apprentices) and Ex-Servicemen

The total number of valid application forms received has been shared zone-wise and category-wise (UR, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, Ex-Servicemen, PwBD).

However, data for CCAA (Course Completed Act Apprentices) candidates has not been provided, even though 20% of seats are reserved for them. Candidates are questioning why this data was not included.

Conclusion

Knowing the competition ratio helps in planning your preparation strategy and predicting cut-offs. Zones with fewer applications per seat give a better chance of selection.

• Don’t just aim to clear the PET (Physical Efficiency Test)—focus on preparing for final merit selection.
• Zones like Bengaluru have very high competition, and many students may have wrongly assumed fewer applications would be filed due to low vacancies.
• Proper strategy and preparation are crucial based on your zone’s competition level.
