109.5 gen….any chance for tier 2
My score is 109.5…any chances…gen cat
I scored 109.5 gen cat…any chances of qualifying for tier2
Is tier 2 & tier 3 will be held on the same day or after the result of tier 2. Please make me clear.
For the post of AAO how the cutoff will be arrived for selection? will tier 3 marks be added for post of AAO?
Tier III marks will be added in allocating the post. Cutoff for allocation will be decided on the basis of Tier I+Tier II+Tier III marks
So it is basically going to be for 900 marks? And for other posts it is going to be 700 marks? Theoretically it is also possible that a person can get AAO and not get other interview posts he has performed exceptionally well in paper IV and OK OK in tier 2 ?
Iske liye apply kaise kare kya koi bata sakta hai.
