Tie-Breaker Rule: In case of two applicants holding the identical score average, the candidate older in age will be preferred. If birth dates also match, the candidate who passed the matriculation examination earlier will be placed higher.
Final Verification: Shortlisted names will undergo an on-site Document Verification and routine medical screening.
