the candidate was on 12 number I guess and I was on 15..dont remember exactly...and I dont think it was merit number...the number was based on Reference number I.e. if a person applied before me he will get reference number suppose 405 and I 408..after shortlisting he will be above me...thats what I inferred..and in that sequence they called candidates for interview also...it has nothing to do with merit...My judgment... I may be wrong..
.Calling them is also useless they will give same answer that you are recommended and in waiting list..
And lastly No worries..Jiska Allah ne izq likha hoa hy usko mile ga...Allah knows who is most deserving...Allah always do best...Best of luck to all...Have faith in Allah

the candidate I know is female
