| Eligibility Criteria |
| |
| The candidate must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent
CGPA [45% in case of the candidates belonging
to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Differently Abled (DA) (It
may also referred to as Persons with Disability (PWD) category)], awarded by
any of the Universities incorporated by an act of the central or state
legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an act
of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under Section 3 of the
UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the
Ministry of HRD, Government of India. |
| The percentage of marks obtained by
the candidate in the bachelor’s degree would be calculated based on the
practice followed by the university/institution from where the candidate has
obtained the degree. In case the candidates are awarded grades/CGPA instead
of marks, the conversion of grades/CGPA to percentage of marks would be based
on the procedure certified by the university/ institution from where they
have obtained the bachelor’s degree. In case the university/ institution does
not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the
equivalence would be established by dividing the candidate’s CGPA by the
maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result with 100. Candidates
appearing for the final year of bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification
examination and those who have completed degree requirements and are awaiting
results can also apply. |
