Tie Breaking Rules

While assigning the ranks for selection based on GATE score, or composite scores, or the marks in the written test and/or interview, if there is a tie between two or more candidates, the following rules in that order will be followed for breaking the tie:
  1. The candidate having higher percentage of aggregate marks in Class 12 or equivalent will be ranked higher.
  2. If that does not break the tie, then the candidate having higher percentage of aggregate marks in Class 10 will be ranked higher.
  3. If that does not break the tie, then based on Date of Birth, the candidate senior/older in age will be ranked higher.
  4. If there is a tie even after this, such candidates will be assigned the same rank.
