'The  undersigned is directed to  refer to the subject cited above and t o  say  that  for  the  implementation of  Para 9 of  the Cadre Allocation Policy  for the All  India Services- IAS/ IPS/ IFS,   as amended o n  21.4.201 1, the competent  authority  has approved the following procedure with effect from CSE 2009:

Allocation  with  reference  to  limited  preference  candidates is  governed  by Para 5 which envisages that if a candidate is not  allotted to  any of  the cadre  for  which  he  has indicated  preference,  he  shall be  allocated  along with  other  such candidates in the order of  rank to  any of the remaining cadre, arranged  in  alphabetical  order,  in  which  there  are vacancies  in  his category  after  allocation  of  all  the  candidates  who  can  be   allotted  to cadre in  accordance  with  their  preference.  Normally limited preference candidates are assigned cadre in the end as per policy.  However, Policy also lays d own allocation of   such candidates in their category.  Therefore  because  of   migration  of   G M   candidates  to  their  own category, a situation  may  arise where both  reserved  category and general category vacancies are left. As general candidates cannot be allocated against reserved vacancies, it is mandatory to first allocate cadres  to these general category limited (equal) preferences candidates.

(ii)

In  order  to   ensure - that  adjustment  of   unallocated  reserved  category candidates  does   not  result  into  higher   ranked  candidates  being  allocated  lower preferred cadre vis-à-vis  lower ranked candidates, it is  stipulated  that  Cadre Controlling Authority would  (a)  pool together  all Reserved Category  candidates  (except  G M  Candidates)  who  have been already allocated  cadre  plus unallocated reserved candidates and  @)  pool together  all  the  cadres  allocated  to   reserved candidates  against  outsider  vacancies  plus  unutilized  UR  vacancies.  Thereafter all reserved candidates 4 be arranged according  to   their  rank  and  cadres would be  allocated keeping  in  view  the  rank,  preferences, vacancies at the  turn.
