Cbt2 hota hai to court chale
This is not a gud step…bcoz many aspirant are there who gave their xm very honestly through hard work..its nothing bt waste of tym..jaha par cheat hua hai waha par liya jaye xm…all over states why??
I think cbt2 is not necessary for group d
If cbt 2 will conduct then remove running 1000m in 4.15min in pet test ,
