The different streams eligible for promotion, with percentages as laid down.
The medical classification of the posts (with authority of Medical Manual).
Training prescribed - Both initial and regular and promotional as the case may be
with mention of the relevant Training Modules/IREM Para.
Any other information specific to the depttjcadr:e/post.

The template shall be common for all categories. A sample of which is placed
