Tie Principles
Wherever two or more candidates have secured equal aggregate marks, the ties have been resolved in accordance with the following principles:
- In case of equal marks in aggregate, the candidate senior in age may be placed at higher rank.
- In case of the candidates having same age and same aggregate marks, the candidate getting higher aggregate score in written papers may be placed at higher rank.
