  1. I think the last line of the notice says ” The final merit will be prepared on overall performance in Tier-I, Tier-II
    and Tier-III. However, the candidate will need to qualify all the tiers i.e. Tier-I,
    Tier-II and Tier-III separately. There will be no sectional cut-of , so we can’t say tier 1 will be qualifying
