CategoryTRCA Slab

ABPM/Dak SevaksRs.10,000-Rs.24,470/-

Selection Criteria

1. The applicants will be shortlisted for engagement on the basis of a system generated merit list.

2. The Merit list will be prepared on the basis of marks obtained/ conversion of Grades/Points to marks (as explained in sub paras – iii to xiii below) in Secondary School Examination of 10th standard of recognised Boards aggregated to percentage to the accuracy of 4 decimals.

3. For applicants where Secondary School Examination of 10th standard mark sheet contains the marks as mentioned in each subject or marks and Grade/Points both, their total marks will be worked out by taking into account the ‘marks obtained’. In case any applicant applies with grades/points instead of marks, his/her application will be liable for cancellation. However, if for any particular subject (s) only grades are mentioned in the mark sheet then for that subject (s) grades can be mentioned and the same need not to be converted to the marks by the candidates.

4. For applicants having only grades subject-wise marks will be arrived for each subject, by applying the multiplying factor of 9.5 in the following manner:

GradeGrade PointMultiplication factor
A1109.5
A299.5
B189.5
B279.5
C169.5
C259.5
D49.5

5. In case of the marks lists contain the Grades/ Points, marks will be reckoned by taking conversion of Grades and points with the multiplication factor (9.5) against the maximum points or grade as 100.

6. Where Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is also provided, the marks will be arrived at by multiplying the CGPA by 9.5. Where individual grades in each subject as well as CGPA is given, the higher of the two marks will be taken. It is to clarify that the candidates are not required to convert their points/grades into marks and are required to mention the grades/points only (wherever applicable), while filling up the online application. The conversion of grades/points to the marks would be carried out by the system before declaration of result for the purpose of arriving at the merit.

7. There are certain boards, like, Delhi Board of School Education (DBSE) which awards both, the Percentage and the Grade Points in the Secondary School certificate to their candidates. In such cases the merit will be generated based on the percentage given in the marksheet. The applicants are, therefore, required to fill the ‘Percentage’ of marks obtained against each subject, while filling up the application form. In case an applicant applies with Grade Points instead of Percentage, his/her application will be liable for disqualification.

The State Board of School Examinations (SBSE), Tamilnadu has not awarded marks or grade points to their candidates in the Secondary level certificates for year 2020-2021 due to Covid and instead awarded a pass certificate to all the candidates. Therefore, the system will award a uniform 66.67% in a such cases. Candidate has to select “Pass” against each subject while online apply.

8. While preparing the merit list in case of tie among the applicants, the same would be decided on the basis of following priority order: –

“DOB (Older in age), ST trans-woman, ST female,
SC trans- woman, SC female,
OBC trans-woman, OBC female,
EWS trans- woman, EWS female,
UR trans-woman, UR female,
ST trans-male, ST Male,
SC trans-male, SC Male,
OBC trans-male, OBC male,
EWS trans- male, EWS male,
UR trans-male, UR male.

The Department would have the liberty and sole right to
introduce any additional criteria in case of ‘Tie’ to determine the merit.
The decision of the Department shall be final.
