Eligibility Decision — Systems/IT Profile (self-contained policy + candidate) Policy (Systems/IT roles): • Degree requirement: BE in CS/IT/Electronics (or equivalent) with ≥ 60% (PG like ME acceptable but does not waive BE unless stated). • Selection written ≥ 50% and selection interview ≥ 50% (both required). • Relevant Systems/IT experience ≥ 5 years. • All met → Select; if experience ≥ 10 years with all minima → Refer to GM - Systems; any clear shortfall → Not to be selected; missing critical data → Information inadequate. Candidate: Neeta Pathak — Born 12 November 1978; Deputy System Manager 7 years; BE (IT) 70%; Written 55%; Interview 45%. Determine the decision code.

Introduction / Context:
Systems/IT screening often demands separate minimums for the written test and the interview. This question verifies that you check both independently and do not allow one to compensate for the other.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Minima: BE ≥ 60%; Written ≥ 50%; Interview ≥ 50%; Experience ≥ 5 years.
• Referral: ≥ 10 years experience with all minima → GM - Systems.
• Candidate: BE 70% (pass); Written 55% (pass); Interview 45% (fail); Experience 7 years (pass but not senior-referral level).

Concept / Approach:
Treat written and interview as separate gates. A single sub-50 score is disqualifying absent a specific waiver rule.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Degree: 70% → Pass.Written test: 55% ≥ 50% → Pass.Interview: 45% < 50% → Fail.Experience: 7 years ≥ 5 → Adequate, but failure already decisive.Decision → Not to be selected.

Verification / Alternative check:
Even with 10+ years of experience, referral requires all minima met; here, the interview deficit blocks referral.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“To be selected” ignores the interview fail. “Refer to DGM/GM” requires passing minima first. There is no “information inadequate” issue.

Common Pitfalls:
Letting a strong written score overshadow a weak interview; conflating senior title with automatic clearance.

Final Answer:
if the candidate is not to be selected
