Scoring, qualifying rules and next stage

The Professional/Subject Knowledge section (where applicable) and the descriptive English paper have minimum qualifying thresholds: UR 40% and OBC/EWS/SC/ST/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen 35%. These are qualifying thresholds, not final selection cutoffs. Separate sectional and aggregate cutoff scores may be applied by CWC. Only objective-test answers attract a penalty of one-quarter of the question marks for an incorrect response; blank responses attract no penalty. For codes 01–06, shortlisted candidates undergo document verification and interview (maximum shortlist ratio 1:5); interview has 30 marks and the final online-test/interview weighting is 85:15. Interview minimums: UR/EWS 50%, OBC 45%, SC/ST/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen 40%. All section times are separate; the total paper lasts 180 minutes. Official examination date has not been announced.
