Important Deadline for Representations
If you find that your name is on the “Not Eligible” list but you believe your documentation is correct, you have a limited window to take action. MDL has set 27 July 2026 as the final deadline for submitting representations.
Missing this date means you will lose your chance to contest the decision. Make sure you gather any necessary proof or corrected documents immediately and follow the instructions listed on the result page to submit your representation before the cutoff.
What to Look for in the PDF
When you open the result document, pay close attention to these three areas:
- Provisionally Eligible Status: Confirms you are cleared for the next stage of the recruitment process.
- Rejection Reasons: If you were marked ineligible, the document will clearly state why (e.g., missing certificates, age criteria, or qualification mismatch).
- Group Categorization: Ensure your name is listed under the correct Group (A, B, or C) you originally applied for.
