For polytechnic diploma admissions, ranks will be calculated based on Maths, Physics, and Chemistry marks. For Agriculture, Veterinary, and Horticulture diploma courses, the rank will be prepared using Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology marks.

While Biology is optional, attempting it can help students secure a better rank for agriculture-related programs.

On the examination day, candidates must strictly follow the rules to avoid disqualification. They should carry the hall ticket and a black or blue ballpoint pen, reach the exam centre at least one hour before the test, and use only an HB pencil for shading answers on the OMR sheet.

Calculators, mobile phones, and electronic gadgets are not allowed inside the hall. Entry will not be permitted after 11:00 AM, and students must preserve the hall ticket carefully till the admission process is completed.
