General Notes:
1. In case the maximum marks in individual subject is other than 100, convert the marks out of 100 for
individual subject but do not round off these marks. If the sum of the converted marks of three individual subjects
without rounding off works out to be a figure with fraction then fraction up to two decimal places will only be considered
Example: If a candidate obtains 101 marks out of 200 in Physics, 86 marks out of 150 in Chemistry and 40 Marks out of 100
in Mathematics, then the sum of marks obtained works out to be 227 out of 450 marks. If it is converted out of 300, it works
out to be 151.33. However if the marks in individual subjects are converted out of 100, then the marks are as 50.5 in Physics,
57.3333 in Chemistry and 40 in Mathematics. It means the sum of converted marks of individual subject is 147.8333, which is
147.83 upto two fraction. Hence the candidate is not eligible for admission under OPEN Category.
2. If letter grades are assigned instead of marks at SSC, HSC or its equivalent examination the candidate must obtain
the certificate of conversion of letter of grades into marks from the competent authority where from the candidate has passed
the examination. The candidate should produce such certificate at the time of submission of application form.
The Eligibility shall be decided based on the equivalent marks submitted by such candidates.
3. If the candidate reappears for the qualifying examination (Std. XII or its equivalent) with all subjects then
the marks obtained in the latest examination will only be considered for determining the eligibility criterion.
