Why is my state's merit list not showing?
Many candidates are asking why Assam or Kerala lists are missing. As per the official updates, states where elections are going on have a "Model Code of Conduct" in place. Because of this, the government cannot announce results or new lists. Once the elections are over, the department will release the GDS 2nd list for these remaining states too.
