UPCET 2022 (UPSEE) Tie-Breaking Policy
If the UPCET 2022 Marks of two or more candidates are equal, NTA will use the UPCET 2022 Tie-Breaking Policy to determine which candidate gets a higher position on the merit list. The tie-breaking policy contains certain rules based on which preference will be given to two or more candidates who have scored equal marks in UPCET 2022. Here are the details.
Step 1: Percentage of Incorrect Answers
NTA will check the percentage of incorrect answers given by the candidates. The candidate who has a lower percentage of incorrect answers will be given higher merit.
Step 2: Section-Wise Score and/ or Age
If the first step is not able to break the tie, NTA will check the section-wise scores of relevant sections in UPCET 2022 and/ or the age of the candidate for determining preference. The rules vary as per the course chosen by the candidates and can be found in the following table.
Candidates who are older are given a higher preference by age in UPCET 2022.
Step 3: Application Number
If the first two steps are not able to break the tie, NTA will use the UPCET 2022 Application Number to do so. Candidates who have a lower application number will be placed higher on the merit list. Hence, a candidate who has applied earlier than others will be given preference in the event of a tie reaching the third stage.
