Selection Procedure
Selection of Candidates
Selection of the candidate is based on the grading in SSLC/THSLC/CBSE or equivalent examination. For those who have passed qualifying exam under old scheme, marks are to be converted to 9 point absolute scale grade.
(a)Grade/Mark is to be converted to point as mentioned below:
| Grade | A+ | A | B+ | B | C+ | C | D+ |
| % of Marks | >=90 | >=80 | >=70 | >=60 | >=50 | >=40 | >=30 |
| Point | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 |
(b)The Total Grade Value is to be calculated by adding all the points thus obtained.
(c)Calculation of Weighted Grade Point Average
Weighted Grade Value for Stream I = Total Grade Value for Physics,
Chemistry and Mathematics
Weighted Grade Value for Stream II= Total Grade Value for Total No. of papers + (2 x Total no. of papers to Weighted Grade Point Average for Stream II
Mathematics and English
Weighted Grade Point Average for Stream I
Total Grade Value + ( 2 x Weighted Grade Value for Stream I)
which weightage is given )
Total Grade Value + (2 x Weighted Grade Value
)
Total No. of papers + (2 x Total no. of papers to
which weightage is given )
Index Score for Stream 1 = WGPA for Stream 1 + Bonus Points#– Penal Points$
Index Score for Stream 2 = WGPA for Stream 2 + Bonus Points# - Penal Points$
Note
* Grades / Marks of all papers of a subject will be considered separately if the subject has more than 1 paper in the qualifying examination.
# Bonus point of 1 will be added to WGPA, for calculating the index, for candidates belonging to the districts mentioned in clause 7.3, for admission to Polytechnic Colleges in their native districts.
$ Penal Point of 0.5 will be deducted from WGPA, for calculating the index, for
candidates who have passed the qualifying examination in second chance
Resolution of Tie while ranking:
For the purpose of resolution of Tie in both the streams, Average Weighted Grade Value (AWGV) for that stream is taken. It is obtained by dividing the Weighted Grade Value considered for stream with the number of papers considered for calculating AWGV.
i. Stream I: In the case of tie in the WGPA for stream I, candidates with higher score in the AWGV for stream I will be placed higher in the ranking. If the tie still exists candidates with higher Average Point in Mathematics (Average Point of different papers if more than one paper is included for the subject in qualifying examination) will be placed higher in the ranking. In case, tie exists further, Average Point in Physics (Average Point of different papers if more than one paper is included for the subject in qualifying examination) will be considered. If the tie exists further, Average Point in English (Average Point of different papers if more than one paper is included for the subject in qualifying examination) will be considered. If there is still a tie, the age of the candidate will be taken into account and the older will be placed higher in the ranking than the younger.
ii. Stream II: In the case of tie in the WGPA for stream II, candidates with higher score in the AWGV for stream II will be placed higher in the ranking. If the tie still exists candidates with higher Average Point in Mathematics (Average Point of different papers if more than one paper is included for the subject in qualifying examination) will be placed higher in the ranking. In case, tie exists further, Average Point in English (Average Point of different papers if more than one paper is included for the subject in qualifying examination) will be considered. If there is still a tie, the age of the candidate will be taken into account and the older will be placed higher in the ranking than the younger.
