In order to generate a common merit list comprising of candidates who gave
examination from different exam groups, but eligible for a common post, merit
index will be computed. For all papers for which there is only one session,

index, while for papers in multi sessions; normalized marks will be calculated
5|Page
 File No.SECR-R0PERS(PnM)/102/2021-O/o SR.DPO/R/SECR

Merit Index = Sq + (St-Sq) M-Mq

Mt-Mq

(Merit Index is the relative score of a candidate within the discipline.)

M: Marks obtained by the candidate (actual/raw marks for single session

exam and normalized marks for multi session exam.

Mq: The qualifying marks for general category candidate in the paper (40)

Mt: The mean marks of top 0.1% or top 10 whichever is larger of the
candidates who appeaed in the paper (in case of multi session exam
including all sessions)

Sq: 350 is the score assigned to Mq.

St: 900 is the score assigned to Mt.

The qualifying marks ( Mq) for general category candidate is 40.

The Merit Index will be calculated for UR, SC, ST candidates whose actual
marks for single session exam and normalized marks for multi session exam
are equal or above the community qualifying marks prescribed in Para 6,
Part- A (a) as above. Based on the Merit Index generated, a combined merit
list of the candidates of different disciplines/Exam Group will be prepared in
