The minimum qualifying mark for each paper/part and also the overall qualifying mark will be decided by the Union Public Service Commission. Candidates securing above this score decided by the commission will be considered for shortlisting from the written test.
However, the more you secure, the better will be your chances of getting shortlisted from the written test as many candidates already serving for the government positions might apply for this recruitment as well under LDCE. The commission reserves the right to fix the qualifying mark for which different factors will be considered by the commission.
The commission will publish the category-wise merit list on the basis of the merit secured by the candidates, number of vacancies, preference stated by the candidate, and their eligibility conditions. In case, you get qualified based on your marks in more than a single category, your inclusion in a specific select list will rely on the category that becomes available on the basis of the choice that you exercise at the appropriate time.
So, on the basis of your merit and based on the vacancy position and other eligibility conditions, you will be placed in the suitable select list showing your preference as an important reason.
