No, the CG PAT merit list and results are not the same. The authority first releases the results in the form of a scorecard and then it publishes the merit list for CG PAT in PDF format. While the scorecard includes a candidate's subject-wise ranks, the merit list summarises their total scores.
Once the official CG PAT merit list is released, students should check if their name is listed on it. Those whose names appear on it are considered eligible for the counselling process. By checking the CG Vyapam official website, candidates should then register to participate in the counselling procedure for admission to their desired course and college.
To check if their name is listed on the CG PAT merit list, students should start searching for their roll numbers or application IDs in the first two columns and cross-check their name against it. Following the same row till the end, they can find their total score obtained.
The merit list for CG PAT will be released a few days after the declaration of the final result. As the exam results are typically released at the August end each year, students can expect the merit list for CG PAT to be tentatively available in early September. This may, however, vary from one year to the next.
Students can find the CG PAT merit list PDF to download on the official website of its conducting body i.e., the Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board (CPEB Raipur) or CG Vyapam. Those candidates whose names will appear on the list are eligible to participate in the admission counselling process.
