Key Exam Rules and Marking Scheme
Marks per Question: Each question carries 1 mark.
Negative Marking: There is a penalty of 1/3 mark for every incorrect answer across all three papers. This makes selective answering crucial.
Qualifying Criteria: The Mandatory Threshold
The selection process has two crucial stages of qualification based on marks:
A. General Language Paper (Qualifying Nature)
This paper is only to check minimum proficiency, and its marks are not added to the final merit list.
Requirement: Candidates must secure a minimum of 30% marks separately in both General English (Part-1) and General Hindi (Part-2).
Consequence: Failure to achieve this minimum mark in either part will lead to the non-evaluation of the General Studies and General Aptitude papers, leading to direct disqualification.
Minimum Qualifying Marks (for Merit Papers)
Once a candidate clears the Language paper, their marks in General Studies and General Aptitude are evaluated. They must meet the following aggregate minimum scores in these two papers (Total 200 Marks) to be eligible for the merit list:
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Marks (%) | Minimum Marks (out of 200) |
| General Category | 40% | 80 Marks |
| Backward Class (BC) | 36.5% | 73 Marks |
| Extremely Backward Class (EBC) | 34% | 68 Marks |
| SC / ST / Women / Disabled | 32% | 64 Marks |
