The final merit list of the candidates for each district/category will be prepared by calculating the overall merit, based on the marks obtained in each of the following examinations, multiplying them with the respective weightage and adding the result to calculate the “Composite Percentage Number” (CPN*) as described below:

Percentage of Marks in: Multiplying Weightage
A Secondary School Certificate
(Science group) (Matriculation):
0.10
B Higher Secondary School Certificate
(HSC-I)/Equivalent:
(Pre-Engineering/Pre-Medical/General Science/Humanities/Commerce Groups or equivalent with adjusted marks1)/DAE:
0.30
B Pre-admission Test 0.60

For example, if a candidate has secured 70% marks in SSC,60% marks in HSC-I and 50% marks in pre-admission test; his/her CPN would be given by:

CPN = (70x0.1) + (60x0.3) + (50x0.6) = 7+18+30 = 55.0000 (Percent)

*Adjusted marks means marks secured in HSC examination plus additional marks if any, as defined in Additional Marks , minus marks to be deducted as defined in Deduction of Marks .

* The CPN of the candidates on the merit list may be calculated with four digits after decimal point. The following steps may be taken, in case of tie of CPN even after exercising the above action
i. The candidate having higher pre-admission test marks will be higher in merit.
ii. The candidate having higher HSC-I marks will be higher in merit.
iii. The candidate having higher SSC marks will be higher in merit.
iv. The candidate having higher HSC Math-I/Biology-I marks will be higher in merit.
