Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Conclusion: The candidate's case should be referred to the department head of MBA.
Age check: Born 12 September 1995 → on 1 August 2017 he is under 25, so the age condition is satisfied.
10th marks: 92% which is ≥ 80% → condition satisfied.
12th marks and stream: 67% in 12th (science). This is below the required 70%, so the strict requirement is not met. But because the candidate has at least 60% and studied science, the special provision applies.
Group Discussion: 82% which is ≥ 70% → condition satisfied.
Personal Interview: 85% which is ≥ 60% → condition satisfied.
Reason: The candidate meets all conditions except the exact 12th-mark threshold. The rules state that if a candidate fails only the 12th-mark condition but has at least 60% in 12th and studied in the science stream, the case should be referred to the department head of MBA. Therefore referral is the correct action.
