- Mark sheets in a language other than English or Hindi need a board-issued transcript in English or Hindi. [1]
Class 10 percentage — no entrance test
- Merit is on the percentage of aggregate marks in Class 10, rounded to four decimals; where a board gives only CGPA, its conversion factor is used.
- Ties are broken by higher Mathematics marks, then higher Science marks.
- Merit is prepared only for candidates whose online form was verified by the chosen designated centre. [1]
