3. Other Domicile Candidates & Eligible KRCL Employees — third preference

Important: Candidates must declare their status (Land Loser / Employment Exchange / Domicile) at the time of application itself — this cannot be changed later. Land Loser candidates who choose to apply under the other two categories instead will lose their land-loser benefits.
