For interview programmes, the candidate securing high marks in written component of entrance test, is given higher rank. If the marks in written component are also same, then date of birth criterion is used i.e. the older in age candidate is given higher rank. This tiebreak rule is applicable for all the programmes except BTech, BArch, BDS and courses where admission will be given through CUET.
