Eligibility Decision — Systems/IT Profile (self-contained policy + candidate) Policy (Systems/IT roles): • BE in CS/IT/Electronics (or equivalent) with ≥ 60%. • Selection written ≥ 50% and interview ≥ 50%. • 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: Samir Ghosh — Born 25 May 1978; BE-IT 65% (1999); Systems Dept since 1999; Written 50%; Interview 50%. Determine the decision code.

Introduction / Context:
When all minima are satisfied and tenure is well beyond the senior threshold, the correct outcome is referral to the designated senior approver rather than a direct selection. This item tests recognition of that routing rule.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Minima: BE ≥ 60%; Written ≥ 50%; Interview ≥ 50%; Experience ≥ 5 years.
• Senior referral: Experience ≥ 10 years with all minima met → GM - Systems.
• Candidate: BE 65% (pass); Written 50% (meets exactly); Interview 50% (meets exactly); Experience ≫ 10 years (since 1999).

Concept / Approach:
Confirm each gate, then apply the referral criterion. Equality at cutoffs is acceptable under ≥.

Step-by-Step Solution:
BE: 65% → Pass.Written: 50% → Pass (exact cutoff).Interview: 50% → Pass (exact cutoff).Experience: ≥ 10 years → Senior referral condition satisfied.Decision: Refer to GM - Systems.

Verification / Alternative check:
Had either written or interview been below 50%, the decision would be “not to be selected.” With all minima met and long tenure, referral is mandatory.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Select” skips the mandated referral; “not to be selected” contradicts the passes; “refer to DGM - System” is a lower level not specified as the senior approver here.

Common Pitfalls:
Forgetting that ≥ includes equality; defaulting to “select” and ignoring process routing.

Final Answer:
if the case is to be referred to the GM - Systems
