    • Candidates with a higher percentage in the qualifying exam (graduation level degree) get the advantage of a higher rank in the order of merit.

    • If candidates have scored the same marks at the graduation level as well, then their class 12th marks are evaluated and given a higher rank in the order of merit.

    • If the tie does not resolve following steps (i) and (ii), then their age is taken into consideration and the older candidate gets a higher rank in the order of merit.
