(1)
			 Notice of Examinations. Examinations for entrance to the classified service
			 shall be conducted on an open-competitive basis. When unassembled examinations
			 are to be given, this fact shall be determined by the Director after
			 consultation with the appointing authorities concerned. The Director shall give
			 public notice of all entrance examinations at least two weeks in advance of the
			 closing date for receiving applications and shall make every reasonable effort
			 to attract qualified persons to compete in the examinations. Notice of
			 examinations may be posted in important centers throughout the state and copies
			 may be sent to other individuals and organizations as the Director may deem
			 expedient. The public notice of examination shall specify the title and salary
			 range of the class of positions, typical duties to be performed, the minimum
			 qualifications required, the final date on which applications will be received,
			 the relative weights to be given to different parts of the examination, and all
			 other pertinent information and requirements consistent with the provisions of
			 these rules.
(2) Filing
			 Application. All applications shall be made on forms prescribed by the
			 Department and must be filed with the Department prior to the close of business
			 on the closing date specified in the announcement. Such application may require
			 information covering personal characteristics, education, experience,
			 references, and other pertinent information. All applications shall be signed
			 and the truth of the statements contained therein certified by such signatures
			 by penalty or perjury. Applicants must meet the minimum qualifications
			 specified in announcements as to education and experience, but in no case shall
			 admittance to the examination constitute assurance of placement on the
			 register.
(3) Disqualification of
			 Applicants. The Director may refuse to examine an applicant, or after
			 examination disqualify such applicant, or remove his name from the register, or
			 refuse to certify any eligible on a register, (1) who is found to lack any of
			 the preliminary requirements established for examination for the class of
			 positions; (2) who is so physically disabled as to be rendered unfit for the
			 performance of the duties of the class of positions; (3) who is addicted to the
			 habitual excessive use of intoxicating liquors or drugs; (4) who has been
			 convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, or guilty of notoriously
			 disgraceful conduct; (5) who has intentionally made false statement of material
			 fact in his application; (6) who has previously been dismissed from the state
			 service for delinquency; (7) who has used or attempted to use political
			 pressure or bribery to secure an advantage in the examination or appointment;
			 (8) who has directly or indirectly obtained information regarding examinations
			 to which as an applicant he is not entitled; (9) who has failed to submit his
			 application correctly or within the prescribed time limits; (10) who has a
			 reputation for deliberately failing to pay just debts; (11) or who has
			 otherwise violated provisions of the Act or these rules. A disqualified
			 applicant shall be given written notice of such action and the opportunity to
			 respond to said notice. This removal from any and all registers is for a periof
			 of five years.
(4) Character of
			 Examinations. Examinations shall be practical in nature, constructed to reveal
			 the capacity of the candidate for the particular class of positions for which
			 he is competing and his general background and related knowledge, and shall be
			 rated impartially.
(5) Conduct of
			 Examinations. Examinations shall be conducted in as many places in the state as
			 are found convenient for applicants and practicable for administration.
(a) The Director may designate monitors in
			 various parts of the state to take charge locally of examinations under
			 instructions prescribed by the Director, provide for the compensation of such
			 monitors, and make arrangements for the use of public buildings in which to
			 conduct the examinations.
