Where,

SASD: Sum of Average (A) and Standard Deviation (SD) of the subject of a session in which the candidate appeared.

GASD: Sum of Average (A) and Standard Deviation (SD) of all the candidates across all sessions of the subject put together.

STA: Average mark of the top 0.1% of the candidates in the subject of a session in which the candidate appeared.

GTA: Average mark of the top 0.1% of all the candidates across all the sessions of the subject put together.

Note:- For the candidates for whom there is no qualifying cut-off in TS EAPCET, if the marks in TS EAPCET after normalization goes below zero (negative), the mark is treated as zero. If the tie persists, then TS EAPCET normalization marks (though negative) are considered for resolving the tie.
