Tie-Principles:
To address scenarios where candidates achieved equal aggregate marks, the following tie-principles were applied:
- Seniority in Age: If candidates had equal marks in aggregate, the one senior in age was given a higher rank.
- Higher Aggregate Score in Written Papers: For candidates of the same age with identical aggregate marks, precedence was given to the candidate who achieved a higher aggregate score in the written examinations.
These details underline the rigorous standards and the transparent selection process upheld by the commission to ensure the selection of the most suitable candidates for the defense services.
