If there are candidates having the same aggregate marks in the written examination plus interview then the tie is resolved by the Commission by referring to the total marks in the written examination, i.e. a candidate having more marks in the written examination gets preference over the candidates having the same aggregate marks.

If the tie still persists, then the tie cases are resolved by the Commission by referring to the marks in the first cut off paper, followed by Date of Birth, i.e., the candidate older in age gets preference.

Lastly, if the tie still persists, the tie is finally resolved by referring to the alphabetical order of names, i.e., a candidate whose name begins with the alphabet which comes first in the alphabetical order gets preference.
