Tie-breaking formula
 
If two candidates score the same marks, a tie-breaker formula will be used by NTA to calculate their marks. A candidate who has got higher marks in Biology will get preference in ranking. If the tie still exists, the marks of candidates in chemistry will get preference. If the tie still persists, the candidates with fewer incorrect answers in all papers will be ranked higher.

The NTA would release the final answer key and result based on objections raised by the candidates.
