Hello Anil,

The minimum admissible marks for each subject and it's working is as follows.For each section, 20% of the average of the best 100 scores in that section will be considered as Section wise minimum admissible Score (SMAS). It means if the average of the best 100 scores in Chemistry section will be 40 out of 50, then SMAS for this section will be 40 x 0.20 = 8 marks.Hence to qualify for the merit list,you will have to get more than SMAS and even the total score should be more than the cutoff.Hope this has helped you.Thank You.
