Qualifying session only: It is necessary to pass only the first session of the examination (Maths and Reasoning). Its marks are not added to the final merit.
No negative marking: In the first session, marks are not deducted for wrong answers.
Pass even on low score: The general category has to get only 12 questions correct out of 40, while for the reserved category this figure is even less (8-10 questions).
