Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Considered in waiting list
Teaching experience: 11 years (meets the minimum 8 years requirement).
Recommendation: None (fails the standard requirement).
Age: 28 years (within the not-more-than-35 requirement).
Marks: SSC 70% (meets 70% requirement); Graduation 68% (meets 65% requirement).
Selection test: 80% (meets the 58% requirement).
Research/publications: Ph.D. completed and 4 published works (meets the Ph.D. and minimum 3 books requirement).
Apply the exception: The candidate satisfies all requirements except the recommendation. The stated exception says that an applicant who satisfies all conditions except the recommendation, and who has at least 10 years of teaching experience at a good university, should be considered for the waiting list.
Conclusion: Consider the candidate for the waiting list, because he has 11 years of teaching experience and meets all other criteria. Caveat: this conclusion depends on the 11 years being at a good university as required by the exception; if his experience is not at a good university, the exception would not apply and he would not meet the recommendation requirement.
Note: The other exception (applicants who failed the selection test but have 80% in post-graduation) does not apply here because he passed the selection test.
