*NR means Not Reported. It could only mean two things:
- The bank expects an increase or decrease in the actual number of vacancies so it avoided itself from declaring
- The bank is yet to decide how many vacancies it has (this could have happened because maybe the bank could not declare vacancies before the notification was supposed to be uploaded)
