Note: The total of Male and Female vacancies adds up to 25. However, the document states a total of 22 vacancies. The discrepancy arises because PWD vacancies will be advertised separately, and Ex-Servicemen fall under horizontal reservation within their respective categories. The document’s primary table explicitly lists “Total 22” for the main post. We will proceed with the explicit “22” as per the title and initial table. The sum of category-wise male/female indicates 25, which might include PWD/Ex-servicemen in the sub-categories. For clarity and adherence to the document’s main total, we maintain 22.
