Understanding the Ranking Criteria and Marking Structure

To be featured in the Common Rank List, candidates must satisfy both subject-wise and overall qualifying marks in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.

Here’s how the scoring works:

• Maximum Aggregate Marks: 360 (180 from Paper 1 + 180 from Paper 2)
• Maximum Marks per Subject: 120
   
  • Mathematics: 60 (Paper 1) + 60 (Paper 2)
  • Physics: 60 (Paper 1) + 60 (Paper 2)
  • Chemistry: 60 (Paper 1) + 60 (Paper 2)
     

Each subject contributes equally to the total score, and students must achieve minimum qualifying marks in all three to be ranked.
