Also, tie-breaking rules will be applied as and when necessary to prepare the final list.
The tie-breaking criteria will be – candidate having a higher percentage of marks in Mathematics will be preferred. If a tie exists even then, the candidate having a higher percentage of marks in Physics will be considered. In case the tie still remains candidate having a higher percentage of marks in the fourth optional subject will be taken into consideration. Even after if the tie remains Age Seniority will be considered. After all these factors if the tie is still existing the Higher Value of Random Number will be preferred.
