The creation and dissemination of such lists serve several key purposes. Firstly, it provides transparency in the recruitment process, allowing applicants to verify their status. Secondly, it facilitates efficient communication, enabling the recruitment body to focus its resources on a manageable pool of candidates. Historically, these lists were often published in newspapers or on physical notice boards; however, the digital format offers wider accessibility and reduces administrative overhead.
