• The Dantewada source lists the heavy driving licence, NCC “C” and NSS “C” as 5 marks each, and the local dialect as 20 marks. Sister notifications of Sukma and Narayanpur show the total bonus as 30. So NCC and NSS seem to count as one 5-mark item. Please confirm this in the official PDF.
• Certificates for bonus marks must be held by the last date of application.
• The bonus for local dialect is checked in the process. If you know the local language, practise speaking it clearly.

Possible total: PET 100 + written 50 + interview 20 + bonus 30 = 200 marks. This sum is our calculation, using the Narayanpur notification report. Please confirm for Dantewada.
