Eligibility Decision — HR/Personnel Profile (self-contained policy + candidate; ambiguous text clarified) Policy (HR/Personnel roles): • PG degree/diploma in HR/Personnel with ≥ 60%. • Graduation with ≥ 55%. • Selection process score ≥ 50%. • Relevant HR/Personnel experience ≥ 5 years. • All met → Select; ≥ 10 years with all minima → Refer to Director-Personnel; shortfall → Not to be selected; missing critical data → Information inadequate. Candidate: Navin Das — Born 14 April 1978; Personnel Dept 6 years; PG Diploma HR 65%; “secured 45% marks in both graduation selection process” (read as Graduation 45% and Selection 45%). Determine the decision code.
-
Aif the candidate is to be selected
-
Bif the candidate is not to be selected
-
Cif the information provided is inadequate to take a decision
-
Dif the case is to be referred to the Director-Personnel
Answer
Correct Answer: if the candidate is not to be selected
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Applying the Recovery-First Policy, we minimally interpret the compressed phrase “in both graduation selection process” to mean graduation = 45% and selection = 45%. With that repair, we can evaluate the profile deterministically against the minima.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Minima: PG HR ≥ 60%; Graduation ≥ 55%; Selection ≥ 50%; Experience ≥ 5 years.
- Candidate: PG 65% (pass); Graduation 45% (fail); Selection 45% (fail); Experience 6 years (pass).
Concept / Approach:Independent minima must all be met; any shortfall disqualifies unless an explicit waiver is provided.
Step-by-Step Solution:PG HR: 65% → Pass.Graduation: 45% → Fail.Selection: 45% → Fail.Experience: 6 years → Pass.Result controlled by failures → Not to be selected.
Verification / Alternative check:Even if one fail were corrected, the other would remain decisive. No escalation to Director-Personnel applies because minima are not satisfied.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:“To be selected” ignores two fails. “Information inadequate” would apply only if a necessary field were missing; here, minimal repair provides both values. “Refer to Director-Personnel” requires no deficits and ≥ 10 years.
Common Pitfalls:Overlooking that two separate minima (graduation and selection) must be satisfied; assuming experience can compensate — it cannot under independent minima.
Final Answer:if the candidate is not to be selected
