The minimum qualifying mark in TS ICET is 25% of the total marks, which means a candidate must score at least 50 out of 200 to be considered for ranking. However, there is no minimum qualifying mark prescribed for Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates. Only those who meet the qualifying criteria are assigned ranks. Rank is purely based on total marks obtained. In case of a tie, marks in Analytical Ability are considered first, followed by Mathematical Ability. If the tie still persists, older candidates are given preference as per official guidelines.
