Ties are ranked by age in descending order. • Minimum marks: Not less than 60% (55% for SC/ ST/ PwBD) in 12th Std/ Diploma. Fractions are ignored, so 59.99% is treated as below 60% and 54.99% as below 55%. • Document Verification and local language test: Conducted during the Document Verification process. Original documents are checked. Any discrepancy leads to summary disqualification. • Final selection is subject to verification of eligibility and application information, qualification in the local language test of the opted State where applicable, and being declared medically fit. Where CGPA/ OGPA is awarded, it must be converted into percentage in the online application, with a certificate from the appropriate authority stating the conversion norms. Percentage is total marks obtained in all subjects in all semesters/ years divided by aggregate maximum marks, multiplied by 100.
