The selection of candidates is done as follows -

Number of Candidates Cleared GSET in English under General Category (X) Total Slots Available for General Category (Divided by) Total Number of Candidates Cleared GSET Exam. The equation as per Example 1 is as follows -

260 X 25 (Divided by) 1200 = 5 (Which means Five Candidates will be awarded GSET E-Certificate in English under the General Category)

The selection of candidates is done as follows -

Number of Candidates Cleared GSET in Gujarati under SC Category (X) Total Slots Available for SC (Divided by) Total Number of Candidates Cleared GSET Exam. The equation as per Example 2 is as follows -

1800 X 100 (Divided by) 2600 = 69 (Which means 69 candidates will be declared eligible for the GSET exam in Gujarati subject).
