How is the Merit List Prepared? (The Scoring System)
For fresh candidates (not deputed teachers), admission is purely based on a merit score calculated from your academic performance.
Here’s how your total score is calculated:
| Examination | Weightage | How to Calculate Score |
|---|---|---|
| Madhyamik or Equivalent | 20% | (Your Percentage of Marks) x 0.2 |
| Higher Secondary (HS) | 20% | (Your Percentage of Marks) x 0.2 |
| Bachelor’s Degree (General/Pass) | 20% | (Your Percentage of Marks) x 0.2 |
| Bachelor’s Degree (Honours) | 30% | (Your Percentage of Marks) x 0.3 |
| B.E./B.Tech | 30% | (Your Percentage of Marks) x 0.3 |
| Master’s Degree (M.A., M.Sc., etc.) | 30% | (Your Percentage of Marks) x 0.3 |
| M.Phil. | 3 | 3 points added directly to total |
| Ph.D. | 5 | 5 points added directly to total |
Important Notes on Scoring:
For HS marks, the best five subjects (excluding Environmental Studies) are considered.
If you have a CGPA/SGPA, you must get it converted to a percentage by your university and submit the official conversion document during admission.
Enter your marks carefully! Your merit rank can change or your admission can be cancelled later if any information is found to be incorrect.
