Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Evaluation:
Teaching experience: Requirement = minimum 8 years. Candidate has 9 years → satisfies.
Recommendation: Requirement = at least one university professor. Candidate has three recommendations → satisfies.
Age: Requirement = not more than 35 years. Candidate is 33 → satisfies.
Academic marks: Requirement = 70% and above in SSC; 65% and above in graduation/post-graduation. Candidate has 69% in post-graduation (meets the 65% threshold), but SSC percentage is not provided → cannot verify SSC requirement.
Selection test: Requirement = 58% marks. Candidate scored 60% → satisfies.
Ph.D. and publications: Requirement = done Ph.D. research and published minimum 3 books. Candidate has Ph.D. research and 5 published works → satisfies.
Exceptions considered:
Waiting list exception: applies only if all conditions are met except lacking a recommendation and the applicant has at least 10 years teaching in a good university. Not applicable here (candidate has recommendations and only 9 years).
Referral to administration exception: applies only if the applicant failed the selection test but secured 80% in post-graduation. Not applicable here (candidate passed selection test and has 69% in post-graduation).
Conclusion:
Because the SSC (70% requirement) is a mandatory condition and the candidate's SSC percentage is not provided, his full eligibility cannot be confirmed. Therefore, based on the information given, he should not be called for the interview until the SSC marks are verified.
