1. Only those candidates who attempt both Paper 1 and
    Paper 2 will be considered for the ranking.

2. Marks in each subject like Mathematics, Physics and
    Chemistry will be obtained by adding the marks secured in
    that subject part in both paper 1 and paper 2. i.e. Marks in
    Mathematics will be equal to marks in Mathematics
    section of Paper 1 + marks in    Mathematics section of
    Paper 2. Similar procedure will be followed for Physics and
    Chemistry.

3. Subject-wise Cut off- All candidates whose marks are in
    the top 80% bracket of the total candidates appeared will
    qualify the cut off requirement for that subject for
    General / DS category. Candidates meeting the cut off
    requirements for all the three subjects will be considered
    for the ranking.

4. Subject-wise Cut offs for the reserved category candidates:
   There is some relaxation in the subject-wise cut offs
   available to reserved category candidates.

5. Based on the aggregate marks secured in the
    Examination, a common merit list with AIR will be
    prepared without any relaxed criteria. Total number of
    candidates declared qualified and ranked will be 1.15
    times the total number of seats available at the seven
    IITs, IT-BHU and ISMU.

6. Reserved Category Merit Lists- In addition to a common
    merit list, separate merit lists of candidates belonging to
    the SC, ST, and PD categories will be prepared by giving
    some further relaxation in the aggregate cut off determined
    in 5 above. If a candidate belongs to more than one
    reserved category, then he/she for the purpose of  ranking
    shall be considered in all the categories in  which he/she
    qualifies.

7. Total number of candidates declared qualified in any
    reserved category will not exceed 1.15 times the total
    seats available in that category.
