Qualifying criteria and percentiles
The qualifying percentiles for successful candidates have been established according to the examination pattern and scheme outlined in the official prospectus for Part-A:
Unreserved (UR), Economically Weaker Section (EWS)/Sponsored/Deputed/Foreign National/Overseas Citizens of India (OCI): 50 Percentile
Other Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (OBC, SC, ST, PWBD) categories: 45 Percentile
Bhutanese Nationals (Postgraduate Institute (PGI)-Chandigarh only): 45 Percentile
In situations where multiple candidates achieve identical marks, the tie-breaking mechanism follows a sequential approach: first by considering fewer negative marks, and second by age (older candidates given preference).
