SECTION-3: INTERVIEW MARKS

3.1. General Guidelines:

1. Marks for interview, to be given by the Members (statutory and if any co-opted) of the Selection Board/ Appointment Committee, as the case may be, shall be calculated by averaging the marks awarded by the all members.

2. Moreover, the Selection Board/ Selection Committee shall recommend candidate or candidates in order of merit.

3. Candidates scoring less than 40 % marks in interview will not be recommended for appointment. Selection Board/ Selection Committee shall record in writing the reasons for awarding the marks less than 40%.

4. For the posts of BPS-17 and above, the top on-merit at least five candidates against one post will be called for interview after short listing and if more than one candidates fall on the same merit on the fifth position, all such candidates will be called for interview. Incase number of candidates against each post is less than five then all available candidates will be called for interview.

5. For the posts of BPS 1-16, the top on-merit at least five candidates against one post will be called for interview after short listing and if more than one candidates fall on the same merit on the fifth position, all such candidates will be called for interview. Incase number of candidates against each post is less than five then all available candidates will be called for interview.

6. However, less than 5 candidates may be called in such posts (like Principal Officer, Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor etc.) where it is expected that enough candidates wouldn’t be able to qualify on merit.

7. Selection Committee and Selection Board, as the case may be, shall develop parameters for interview for every category of post and shall award marks accordingly.

3.2. Collation of Marks:

a. For all posts:

All the members shall carry equal marks. Total marks shall be calculated averaging the marks awarded by each member individually.

Marks Obtained= Marks awarded by each member/Total Members

SECTION-4. EQUIVALANCE OF DEGREES / CERTIFICATES

The demarcation of marks has been made on the basis of conventional certificates / degrees awarded under Pakistani Education System i.e. Matriculation, Intermediate, Bachelors, Masters, BS (4-years), MS/MPhil, and Ph.D.. However, if a candidate possesses a degree/ certificate other the afore-listed ones, the same would be considered equivalent, as mentioned below, only and only for the purpose of award of marks and subject to the determination of eligibility of the candidate by the Scrutiny Committee on the basis of the relevance of said degree/ certificate:

Sr.#.	Degree / Certificate held by the Candidate	Conversion/ Equivalence with Conventional Degree, for the Purpose of Marks.
1.	· O-Level, · Or any other certificate recognized by the IBCC as equivalent to the Matriculation	Matriculation
2.	· DAE (3 years) · A-Level	Intermediate
3.	· A degree awarded after matriculation and recognized by the HEC as equivalent to the Bachelor degree	Sum of marks of Intermediate and Bachelors
4.	Awarded after Bachelor Degree(14 year) · LLB (3 years) · MBA (2 years), · ACCMA / ACCA (2 years) · CA · Or any other Degree obtained after Bachelor degree and recognized by the HEC as equivalent to Master degree.	Masters
5.	A degree obtained after Intermediate and recognized by the HEC as equivalent to Master degree, such as: · LLB (5 years) awarded after intermediate · BS / BBA / BFA (4 years) awarded after intermediate · MBBS/Farm-D/BS Engineering	Sum of marks of Bachelors and Masters
6	Awarded after Masters / equivalent · LLM · MS · MSBA · MBA (1.5 years) · Or any other degree, recognized by the HEC as equivalent to M.phil.	M.Phil.
7	Award after Bachelor Degree (14 year) MBA (3.5 years)	M.Phil.

Note:

· In addition to the above, if HEC or any other authorized Government / Regulatory Body recognize a local or foreign certificate or degree equivalent to the above-mentioned conventional degree, the candidate holding the said certificate/ degree will be awarded marks according to the corresponding conventional degree/ certificate, subject to the recommendations of the Scrutiny Committee.

· In case of any ambiguity, the degree in question (held by candidate) shall be considered equivalent to the ‘conventional degree’, prescribed in the advertisement, subject to its ascertainment of relevant by the concerned Scrutiny Committee. Therefore, the Scrutiny Committee will determine the equivalence of a degree/ certificate, where ambiguity arises, in light of rules and policies of HEC or other relevant Government/ Regulatory Bodies.

· The above equivalence chart is only for the purpose of “Award of Marks” and will not render a candidate eligible, unless declared by the Scrutiny Committee.

SECTION-5: CONVERSION OF GPA INTO DIVISION

Since, the demarcation of marks is based on “Division” system, therefore, if “Division” is not available on any degree / transcript of a candidate, the same would be calculated / converted into Division, as under:

5.1. Under Semester System (where CGPA is mentioned on the DMC)

Sr.#	CGPA (Out of 4.00)	CGPA (Out of 5.00)	Division
1.	3.00 or above	4.00 or above	1^st Division
2.	2.50 to 2.99	3.25 to 3.99	2^nd Division
3.	2.49 or below	3.24 or below	3^rd Division

5.2. Under Semester System (Where only Marks / Percentage is mentioned, instead of CGPA, on the DMC)

Sr. #.	Percentage of Marks	Division
1.	70% or above	1^st Division
2.	60% to 69.99%	2^nd Division
3.	59.99% or below	3^rd Division

5.3. Under Annual System (if Division / Grade is not mentioned on DMC / Certificate)

Sr. #.	Percentage of Marks	Division
1.	60% or above	1^st Division
2.	45% to 59.99%	2^nd Division
3.	44.99% or below	3^rd Division

5.4. If, in any case, no information regarding Division, Grades, CGPA, or Percentage can be fetched from a local or foreign degree, such degree holder candidates will be awarded marks equivalent to 1^st Division.
