Chemistry Marks – If the biology marks criteria do not work and tie still remains then candidates with higher marks in chemistry will be preferred.
Less Incorrect Questions – If the above 2 methods are able to break the tie then the 3^rd method is used where candidates with less number of wrong answers will be taken into consideration over other candidates.
