However, the following relaxations are applicable to the age limits to certain categories of candidates-

Educational Qualification:

• It is mandatory for the candidate to carry a Bachelor's Degree (Graduation) in any discipline from a University recognized by the Govt. Of India.
• The candidate must possess a valid Mark-sheet / Degree Certificate indicating the percentage of marks obtained in Graduation while registering online.
• The percentage in the graduation should be calculated according to the total marks secured divided by the aggregate marks for all the subjects in all the years and then the same should be multiplied by 100. The fraction of percentage so arrived will be ignored i.e. 59.99% will be treated as less than 60% and 54.99% will be treated as less than 55%. So, with 59.99% marks, you will not be considered as having the First Class degree.
