1. For each section, "20% of the average of the best 100 scores in that section" will be considered as the Section–wise Minimum Admissible Score (SMAS). For example, if the average of the best 100 scores in the Physics section is 41 out of 50, then SMAS for the Chemistry section would be 41*0.20 = 8.2 marks. Similarly, for other sections.
2. SMAS for different sections can obviously be of different numerical values.
3. SMAS for the two sessions, for any particular section, can obviously be of different numerical values.
4. SMAS for OBC students would be 90% of the respective SMAS for general categorystudents. For example, if the SMAS is 8.6 for general category students in the Chemistry section, then SMAS for OBC students would be 7.38 (90% of 8.2).
5. SMAS for SC/ST/Divyangjan students would be 50% of the respective SMAS for general category students. For example, if the SMAS is 8.2 for general category students in the Chemistry section, then SMAS for SC/ST/Divyangjan students would be 4.1 (50% of 8.2).
