NOTES:
(a) The 1961 Principals' competition was open; the others were confined to former members of the Overseas Civil Service and the Regular Forces.
(b) Candidates in the normal and supplementary open competitions for the Administrative Class are usually honours graduates, but candidates in the Principals' competitions for former members of the Overseas Civil Service and Regular Forces are not required to have a degree, although some of them have them. For the open Principals' competition in 1961 a degree was the normal requirement but there were certain exceptions. A degree was not essential for the limited competitions, though here too some candidates are graduates.
