Each correct response earns 1 mark, while 1/3 mark is deducted for every incorrect answer due to negative marking.
Minimum Qualifying Marks
To qualify for consideration, candidates must score a minimum of:
- 50% for General, OBC, and EWS candidates
- 45% for SC/ST candidates
Tie-Breaking and Final Merit List Preparation
In case multiple candidates score the same marks, KGMU will implement a three-tier tie-breaking process:
- Core Section Marks: Priority will go to candidates with higher marks in the 60-mark subject section.
- Negative Responses: Preference to the candidate with fewer wrong answers.
- Age: If a tie still exists, the older candidate will be ranked higher.
Following the CRT, a final merit list will be prepared category-wise, based solely on exam scores.
Document Verification and Final Steps
After the merit list is released, shortlisted candidates will be called for in-person document verification at KGMU. Candidates must bring their original documents for authentication. The official date, time, and schedule for this process will be published on kgmu.org.
Aspiring candidates are encouraged to review the detailed notification on the university’s website and complete the application well before the deadline.
