Q 16. My name is in PSL, but there is a code against my name as CSV. What is this?
Ans: CSV stands for “Certificate Subject to Verification”. This is because, there is an anomaly in your documents/certificates. This was intimated to you at the time of Selection Test and an undertaking was given by you to clear the anomaly and produce corrected certificate(s) within the given timeframe. The indication of ‘CSV’ against your name in PSL denotes that you have to clear the CSV status within the stipulated time. The candidature of candidates who fail to get the CSV cleared within the stipulated timeframe, gets automatically cancelled on the day of enrolment. However, keeping in view the procedural delay in Educational Boards, your candidature is not cancelled and your CSV status is maintained to avoid cancellation of candidature. You are advised to get the anomaly cleared by the date as mentioned on the first page of PSL. If the CSV is not cleared, your candidature will get automatically cancelled on the day of enrolment.
Q 17. I was awarded CSV status; I have received the corrected certificates from the concerned Board. Where should I report for clearing the CSV Status and what all documents I have to carry?
Ans: To clear the CSV status, you have to report to Commanding Officer of any one of the fourteen ASCs which is located close to your place/convenient to you. You have to produce the following documents for clearance of CSV status:-
