Where candidates are placed

Selection is purely merit-based. The official notification states in clause 6.4 that there will be no written test or viva-voce.
How the merit list is calculated
Selection is based on a merit list prepared by calculating the average of the percentage marks obtained in the 10th Class / Matriculation examination (with a minimum of 50% aggregate) and the ITI examination, giving equal weightage to both.
Tie-breaker
- If two candidates have the same marks, the older candidate is preferred.
- If dates of birth are also the same, the candidate who passed the Matriculation / 10th Class examination earlier is considered.
