- Candidates will be shortlisted for the PET/ PST Examination based on how they perform in Paper-I
- Only the candidates who qualify for the PET/ PST will be permitted to write the Paper-II Examination

Other details pertaining to the examination pattern are as follows:

In Papers I and II, there will be a 0.25-mark deduction for every incorrect answer. Applicants are recommended to take this into consideration when answering questions.
- Candidates’ marks in the Computer Based Examination will be normalised using a methodology issued by the Commission through Notice No.1-1/2018-P&P-I dated 07-02- 2019. Normalised scores will be used to determine the final merit and cut-off marks.
- After the examination, the Commission will post tentative answer keys on its website. Applicants may review the Answer Keys and submit representations – if any – within the time period set by the Commission via online mode, at a fee of Rs.100/- per question. Any representation regarding Answer Keys received within the time frame set by the Commission will be scrutinised before finalising the Answer Keys. The decision of the Commission in this regard will be final. No representations regarding Answer Keys will be acknowledged later.
