Inter-Se-Merit

To prepare the merit list for ranking candidates, certain factors are kept in mind. One of them is

1. A candidate who has made more attempts in passing the qualifying exam, (10+2/GNM) will rank junior to a candidate who has made lesser attempts.
2. If the attempts made in passing the qualifying exam (10+2/GNM) are also the same, then a candidate who has higher marks in the said examination will rank senior to a candidate who has obtained lower marks.
3. If the attempts made in passing the said examinations and the marks obtained in the examinations are also the same, then a candidate senior in age shall rank senior to the candidate who is junior in age

After that, a merit list will be prepared in which candidates are shortlisted keeping such factors in mind. However, there is a possibility that 1 or more candidates received the same marks, in such case, ranking becomes a little bit tricky. Well to maintain fairness, a formula called Inter-se Merit is used by the institutes. This serves as the tie resolving criteria. Let us see it.
