Eligibility Decision — Banking/Advances Profile (self-contained policy + candidate) Policy (Banking — Advances role): • Graduation (Commerce/Finance or equivalent) with ≥ 60%. • Group Discussion ≥ 50% and Interview ≥ 50% (both required). • Relevant banking experience ≥ 5 years. • All met → Select; if experience ≥ 10 years with all minima → Refer to General Manager - Advances; any clear shortfall → Not to be selected; missing critical data → Information inadequate. Candidate: Rohan Maskare — Born 8 March 1974; B.Com 70%; Banking experience 12 years; Group Discussion 50%; Interview 50%. Determine the decision code.

Introduction / Context:
This banking eligibility puzzle mirrors the structure of earlier domains but adapts the approver. When a candidate satisfies all minima and exceeds the seniority threshold, the file is routed to the functional GM rather than concluded as a direct hire.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Minima (Advances): Graduation ≥ 60%; Group Discussion ≥ 50%; Interview ≥ 50%; Banking experience ≥ 5 years.
• Senior routing: Experience ≥ 10 years with all minima → Refer to GM - Advances.
• Candidate: Graduation 70% (pass); GD 50% (meets exactly); Interview 50% (meets exactly); Experience 12 years (senior).

Concept / Approach:
Confirm each gate then apply the senior routing rule. Equality at a cutoff (≥) counts as a pass.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Graduation: 70% → Pass.Group Discussion: 50% → Pass (exact cutoff).Interview: 50% → Pass (exact cutoff).Experience: 12 years ≥ 10 → Senior routing applies.Decision: Refer to General Manager - Advances.

Verification / Alternative check:
Nothing is missing; no score is below the minima. Escalating to GM - Advances is consistent with the role and tenure.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Executive Director” is a higher escalation not defined for this policy; “not to be selected” contradicts the passes; “data inadequate” is incorrect because all figures are present.

Common Pitfalls:
Assuming exact-cutoff values are insufficient; ignoring the routing rule and choosing “to be selected” instead of the designated senior approver.

Final Answer:
if the case is to be referred to the General Manager - Advances
