All applications shall be reviewed and applications may be rejected, if the applicant has not met the qualifications specified on the announcement by the date of the examination, or has intentionally made false statements on his application with regard to any material fact. Applications may be rejected for any just or reasonable cause which is job-related, as determined by the Commission.
Upon rejection of any application, the applicant shall be promptly notified of such fact and the reason therefor, whereupon he may, within three (3) working days after receipt of such notice, show cause, in writing, why such application should not have been rejected. If any such inquiry from a rejection is pending at the time an examination is scheduled to be held, the applicant shall be allowed to take the examination pending a decision in such inquiry.
If the Commission finds the rejection justified, the examination papers shall not be included among those to be rated.
