Also, as the vacancies for MTS are in two age groups i.e. (i) 18 to 25 years and (ii) 18 to 27 years. So in the final result, there will be separate age group-wise, State/ UT-wise, and category-wise cut-offs. For the candidates who are eligible for both the age-groups, vacancies will first be filled in the age-group of 18-25 years. So start preparations soon.
