How Candidates Were Shortlisted for DV

Basis of Shortlisting
CCAA candidates

All other candidates
Normalized CBT marks
Normalized marks are CBT marks adjusted so that candidates who sat different shifts are compared fairly. Scaled NCVT marks are the apprenticeship (NCVT) exam marks brought to the same scale as the CBT. The notice does not explain either term, so these are the usual meanings.
Cut-off Marks for Document Verification
A cut-off is the lowest score that got a candidate shortlisted. These cut-offs are for being called to DV, not for final selection.
