Where Advertisement 13-Exam/2026 stands
Checked against the Commission’s notice board on 12.09.2026: no shortlist, fee notice or examination
date has been published for Cane Supervisor. That is worth knowing precisely, because two recruitments
advertised alongside it have moved on — Forest Guard and Wildlife Guard under 12-Exam/2026 and the Forensic
Science Laboratory cadre under 15-Exam/2026 both had their main-examination shortlists published on 27.08.2026.
The Commission is publishing daily, so the silence on this one is specific to it and not a general pause.
