Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: He should be admitted.
Reasoning (age calculation):
He was 18 years old on 15 February 2009, so his date of birth is 15 February 1991. On 30 June 2010 he was 19 years and about 4.5 months old, which satisfies the requirement of being 19 years or above as of June 30, 2010.
12th standard requirement: He scored 68%, which is at least the 65% minimum.
Entrance exam requirement: He scored 76%, which is at least the 70% minimum.
Fee requirement: He can pay the full Rs. 25,000 at admission.
Because he satisfies the age, 12th marks, entrance score, and fee conditions, he meets all the stated admission standards and should be admitted.
Note: The special rules to refer a candidate to authority (applicable when the entrance exam criterion is not met but 12th percentage is 85%) and to allow tentative admission (applicable when the candidate can pay only half the fee) do not apply in this case.
