The candidates will be called for Group Discussion and Personal Interview on the basis of their score in the CAT subject to the condition that they secure a minimum 10% score (5% in case of SC/ST candidates) in each component of CAT viz., quantitative, logic & data interpretation, and verbal, and/or any other component which may be added later at any stage to the CAT. Whether in the General Category or in any of the reserved categories, no candidate who has secured less than the said minimum score in CAT shall be eligible to be called for Group Discussion and Personal Interview.

2. Explanation: While working out the percentage of seats in the reserved categories as given on page 11 of the handbook of information, if the number arrived at contains a fraction, the same shall be resolved as follows:
  
  If the fraction is 0.5 or more, it shall be rounded off to 1; if it is less than 0.5, it shall be ignored. This shall, however, not effect the total number of seats in the General Category. To ensure this, if the total number of seats after making this adjustment, exceeds the prescribed number fixed for the course, the necessary additional seats shall be created with the prior permission of the D.U.I./Vice-Chancellor. Such seats, if created, shall be treated as additional only for the year in question.
  
  The additional seats, if required to be created, shall be created only for the reserved category and not for the general category.
Final Merit List of all the candidates called and appeared for GD & PI will be prepared category-wise on the basis of their combined aggregate score in the CAT, Group Discussion and Personal Interview.

1. A candidate getting higher percentage in the qualifying examination shall rank higher in order of merit.
2. That if the marks in the qualifying examination are also the same then the candidate obtaining more marks in the immediate lower examination shall rank higher in order of merit.
3. That if two or more candidates secure equal marks in (i) & (ii) above, the candidate senior in age shall rank higher in order of merit.

- WRITTEN TEST (CAT) 85% (OF CAT SCORE PERCENTAGE & NOT PERCENTILE)
- GROUP DISCUSSION 7.5%
- PERSONAL INTERVIEW 7.5%
