Eligibility Multi-Gate Validation Architecture

A candidate is confirmed eligible if and only if all four evaluation gates simultaneously resolve to true:

Eligible = AgeGate && EducationGate && GenderGate && AttemptGate
AgeGate = (EffectiveMinAge ≤ CandidateAgeOnCutoff ≤ EffectiveMaxAge)
EffectiveMaxAge = BaseMaxAge + ∑(CategoryRelaxations)
EducationGate = RequiredDegreeHeld && (CandidatePct ≥ MinimumPct)

Common Eligibility Pitfalls

Using current date instead of the notification's cutoff date.Age eligibility is strictly determined as of the official cutoff date stated in the notification (often 1st January or 1st August of the exam year), not your age when submitting the form.
Assuming provisional degree completion is universally accepted.Some exams insist that degree certificates or final mark sheets must be issued on or before the cutoff date, while others allow appearing candidates.
Overlooking cumulative category relaxations.PwD candidates belonging to SC/ST or OBC categories receive cumulative age relaxations (e.g. 10 + 3 = 13 years for OBC-PwD, 10 + 5 = 15 years for SC/ST-PwD).
