Tie-Principles

Wherever two or more candidates have secured equal aggregate marks in Combined Geo-scientist Examination, 2024, the tie(s) have been resolved in accordance with the principles approved by the Commission, viz.

(i) If final total is equal, then candidate getting more marks in Geology/Geophysics/Chemistry/Hydrogeology papers plus PT total will be ranked higher.
(ii) If the total marks of Geology/Geophysics/Chemistry/Hydrogeology papers plus PT are also equal then senior in age will be ranked higher.
