Shortlisting Policy & Admission Procedure

Zero Written Evaluation: Selection bypasses all standard written examinations or online tests. Academic Merit Formulation: Merit hierarchies are generated based strictly on the aggregate percentage marks obtained during the candidate's respective baseline academic courses. Final Verification Stage: High-ranking candidates receive invitations to complete official face-to-face verification of original qualifications. Tie-Breaking Standards: If final scores coincide exactly between multiple candidates, preference moves to the individual older in age. If dates of birth match, the higher score achieved during 10th-grade matriculation establishes priority.
