KOKRAJHAR, June 7: The Central Selection Board (CSB), an autonomous body under the Government of Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), has announced that the written examination for Grade-III posts in various departments of BTC will be conducted on June 15.
The examination has created some confusion among candidates, particularly regarding the eligibility for appearing in multiple departmental exams. Hundreds of candidates who applied for multiple departments expressed concerns, as the official CSB notification did not clearly state whether appearing for more than one department was permitted.

In a press conference held at the Bodoland Guest House in Kokrajhar, CSB Chairman Dr. Dipak Kumar Basumatary clarified that candidates who have applied for multiple departments will be allowed to appear for the examination on June 15.
