Stage-3
(Personality Test) - 200 Marks
Ø To clear the prelims
stage it is necessary to get at least 15% of marks in each paper, i.e., 30
marks and 45 marks respectively. To be sure of being eligible for Mains stage,
one must aim to score at least 50% in each paper or 250+ marks overall in
Prelims; this may vary branch to branch.
Ø The short listing ratio for Main Examination is considerably
higher depending on the vacancies and is generally around 1:12 i.e. 12 persons
are shortlisted for 1 post.
Ø The minimum cut off marks to clear the Mains stage is 20% in
each paper, i.e., one need to score at least 60 marks in each of the papers to
be eligible for Interview stage. To be sure of getting an interview call, one
must aim and score at least 50% in each of the mains paper or 300+ marks
overall, however this may vary branch to branch and year to year depending on
difficulty level of the paper.
Ø The calling ratio for personal Interview is generally 1:3 i.e. 3
candidates will be called for filling up 1 post.
Ø Next stage is the interview, interview is total of 200 marks and
a good candidate gets marks in the range of 100-120. For a guaranteed
selection, one must aim to score 140+ in the interview.
Ø Usually, top 10 rankers score around 60 to 65% of the total
marks (1300 marks). Last candidate to be recommended scores around 55 to 58 %
of the total marks.
