Hello there,

The National Means-cum-Merit Scholarship (NMMS) program sets specific criteria for awarding scholarships, including minimum qualifying marks in both the Mental Ability Test (MAT) and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT).

General Eligibility Criteria:

• Mental Ability Test (MAT): Minimum 40% marks.

• Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT): Minimum 40% marks.

• SC/ST Categories: Minimum 32% marks in both MAT and SAT.
  
  

In the case of the MBC (Most Backward Classes) student from Kallakurichi district who scored 52 in MAT and 49 in SAT, the combined total is 101. However, the selection for the NMMS scholarship is not solely based on the total score; it also considers the individual performance in MAT and SAT.

According to the NMMS guidelines, candidates must meet the minimum qualifying marks in both tests. Therefore, despite the overall score, if the student did not achieve the required minimum in either MAT or SAT, they would not be selected for the scholarship.

It's important to note that selection lists are prepared based on district-wise cutoffs, which can vary each year. These cutoffs depend on factors such as the number of applicants and the overall performance in the district.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

See RRB in general have a generalized pattern among all of it examinations. So if you prepare for RPF SI it would be more helpful for you to clear RRB Group D. I would recommend you to target the examination which is a level harder than what you target and believe me this increases the possibility.

Hello,

The eligibility criteria for RPF SI as well as UPSC is based on graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, in case of RPF SI the exam is conducted in three stages such as Computer Based Test, Physical Efficiency Test and Physical Measurement Test, followed by Document Verification, however in case of UPSC the three stages are Preliminary which has two papers, each of 200 marks, it's conducted in MCQs format, the second stage is Mains which is subjective paper you have to write answers, there are total of nine papers, and last stage is Personality Test. The syllabus of UPSC is humongous, it's one of the toughest exam, however RPF SI consists of only CBT Test which consists of sections like General Awareness, General intelligence and Reasoning, Arithmetic, as this is CBT based hence practice and accuracy matters lot here, preparing for UPSC is lot more different as I said the syllabus is quite extensive.
