The number of candidates admitted to the assessment centre will be approximately three times the number of successful candidates indicated in the competition notice and will be published on EPSO's website (www.eu-careers.eu).

3.   Verification of information given by candidates

Following the assessment centre session, the information given by candidates in their on-line applications will be verified against the general conditions by EPSO and against the specific conditions and selection criteria by the selection board. If verification shows that the information given is not borne out by the appropriate supporting documents, candidates will be eliminated from the competition.

Applications are verified for candidates with pass marks who obtained the best aggregate marks in tests (d), (e) and (f) in the assessment centre session, in descending order of merit (see section V). These candidates must also have obtained pass marks in the aptitude tests (3) (a), (b), and (c) (see section V). Verification will continue until the threshold number of candidates is reached who can be placed on the reserve list and actually fulfil all the conditions for admission. The files of candidates below this threshold will not be examined.
