Candidates from Ludhiana, Moga, Rupnagar and SAS Nagar (Mohali) will take the exam once the situation improves in the state. Last year, the recruitment rally had been conducted from December 7 to 27 at AS College ground, Khanna.

Of 14,000 registered candidates, 10,000 candidates attended the rally, of which 1,832 candidates are eligible to take the CEE. Earlier, the CEE was scheduled earlier for February 28 at Guru Nanak Stadium, Ludhiana. However, it could not be conducted because of technical reasons.
