It has been observed that in past some of the Pr. Controllers/ Controllers are
not adhering to the date fixed for submission of the list of candidates and HQrs
office has received requests for allotment of Roll Nos to the candidates even
after dispatch of Examination materials which resulted in lot of inconvenience
at all levels. It may be noted that no request for allotment of Roll Nos to
candidates received after the cut off date will be entertained except due to
unavoidable administrative reasons and responsibility of the same will devolve
on respective office. All efforts should, therefore be made to adhere to this
date to enable us to hold the examination as per the time schedule. The name of
the candidates who are finally selected by this HQrs. Office to appear in the examination
and the Roll Numbers assigned to them, shall be intimated to the Principal Controllers/Controllers,
as soon as possible after receipt of the proforma.
8.         Since SAS Part-1 Examination in new
syllabus is being held after a considerable long period, all prospective
candidates should be advised that it is in their own interest to start
preparation for the examination without waiting for the intimation about acceptance
of their candidature. It is likely that candidates are not making full use of
training classes where these are held under the scheme contained in our
No,AN/0611/AN/K, dated 17/7/58 (as amended). The Principal
Controllers/Controllers are requested to take steps to see that the candidates
take adequate interest in the training classes and attend the same regularly.
9.         Absenteeism not only results in all
round increase in work but also wasteful expenditure in making administrative
arrangements for holding the examination. Principal Controllers/Controllers are
requested to get in writing from the intending candidates that they will not
apply for withdrawal of their candidature from the above examination on the
plea of sickness of family, domestic affairs or non-availability of books etc.
It may be impressed upon the candidates that it is in their own interest to
take the examination seriously. Absent from this examination may result in to
re-qualify the preliminary examination in terms of SAS Rules 6 besides forfeiting
this precious chance.
10.       Detailed rules governing SAS Examinations
together with detailed new syllabus, recommended books etc. have already been
notified and circulated to all our Principal Controllers/Controllers/IFAs/CIAs

    It is very difficult for preparation exam in new syllabus as no model answers are available. The o& m cell is providing the model answers for old syllabus, which are useless. Further it is very difficult to arrange and study huge numbers of books for exam.
