• Tie-Breaker Resolution : Ties are resolved sequentially by considering the older GATE score year first, then the older candidate age, and finally a higher percentage in the essential educational qualification.

• Document Verification : Shortlisted candidates are called to verify original documents (such as birth proof, mark sheets, GATE score card, and category certificates).

• Provisional Appointment : Eligible candidates who successfully clear document verification are offered provisional appointment.
