- * 2 cook-cum-helpers for 26-100 students
- * 3 cook-cum-helpers for 101-200 students

The notification also states that:
Some schools are not following the aforementioned norms while appointing cook-cum-helpers.
The cook-cum-helper who was appointed most recently should be terminated first if the number of students in a school reduces.
If two or more cook-cum-helpers were appointed on the same date, the one with the most seniority (i.e., the elder one) should be terminated first.
