For Group 'C' posts, daily-wage and contractual employees of the University who meet the eligibility get a weightage of 4% marks for each year of service, up to 20%, in each part of the assessment. The notice also cancels earlier advertisements for some of these posts (Advt. No. 20/2023-2024 and 06/2018-2019); applicants who paid a fee then can ask for a refund by email to ar.rac@bhu.ac.in.
