    2. Thank you, according to the paper 1 only they shortlisted for round 2, then why they consider paper I mark can u tell?

    3. You are mistaken...Actually the final result will be a combination of marks got in the Paper I and the cut off in the Paper II.If you have got the cut off marks in Paper II then its ok,but it doesn't mean dat u will be selected,the marks in Paper I will determine the final result when the marks of Paper I + Paper II are short listed the candidates who scored more while taking the both papers will be selected as there are specific number of vacancies.
