The exercise covers 12,445 vacancies and follows the government's decision to bring down the OBC quota applicable to the recruitment process from 17 per cent to 7 per cent, he said.

The commission is revisiting the merit list published on January 21, which had been prepared under the reservation structure introduced by the previous TMC government.
