Based on the cut-off marks in the individual subjects as well as aggregate marks in the Examination, a common merit list will be prepared without any relaxed criteria. In addition, separate merit lists of candidates belonging to SC, ST, and PD categories will be prepared with different relaxed norms relevant to their categories. While preparing these merit lists, if a candidate belongs to more than one category of relaxed norms, he/she shall be considered only in the category in which he/she gets the maximum benefit. There will not be any separate list of wait-listed candidates.

Tie Breaking

Tie breaking criterion adopted for awarding ranks to the candidates who have scored same aggregate marks is as follows:
For each subject, the mean marks will be calculated on the basis of marks obtained by those candidates who have appeared in all three subjects. A candidate will be ranked higher, if he/she has scored higher marks in the subject having the lowest mean marks. If two or more candidates score the same marks in the above mentioned subject, then the marks of the subject with second lowest mean marks will be used for breaking the tie. Candidates scoring the same marks in all three subjects will be given the same rank.
