Tie-Principles
Wherever two or more candidates have secured equal aggregate marks in Combined Geo-scientist Examination,
2025, the tie(s) have been resolved in accordance with the principles approved by the Commission, viz.

(i) If the marks in aggregate (Final Marks) are equal, the candidate securing more marks in subject specific papers
[Geologist - Stage-I “Paper-II-Geology” and Stage-II “Paper-I,II,III : Geology”
Geophysicist / Scientist ‘B’ (Geophysics) / Assistant Geophysicist - Stage-I “Paper-II-Geophysics” and Stage-II
“Paper-I,II,III : Geophysics”
Chemist / Scientist ‘B’ (Chemical) / Assistant Chemist - Stage-I “Paper-II-Chemistry” and Stage-II “Paper-I,II,III :
Chemistry”
Scientist ‘B’ (Hydrogeology) / Assistant Hydrogeologist - Stage-I “Paper-II-Hydrogeology” and Stage-II “Paper-I,II :
Geology and Paper – III : Hydrogeology”] plus marks of Personality Test put together will be ranked higher:

(ii) If the marks at (i) above are equal, candidates securing more marks in subject specific papers [Geologist - Stage-I
“Paper-II-Geology” and Stage-II “Paper-I,II,III : Geology”
Geophysicist / Scientist ‘B’ (Geophysics) / Assistant Geophysicist - Stage-I “Paper-II-Geophysics” and Stage-II
“Paper-I,II,III : Geophysics”
Chemist / Scientist ‘B’ (Chemical) / Assistant Chemist - Stage-I “Paper-II-Chemistry” and Stage-II “Paper-I,II,III :
Chemistry”
Scientist ‘B’ (Hydrogeology) / Assistant Hydrogeologist - Stage-I “Paper-II-Hydrogeology” and Stage-II “Paper-I,II :
Geology and Paper – III : Hydrogeology”] put together will be ranked higher; and

(iii) If the marks at (i) & (ii) are also equal, candidate senior in age will be ranked higher.
