13. Experience Marks Calculation & Final Merit Formula
The final merit list under Advertisement No. 27/2026 is prepared out of a total of 100 Marks by combining the scaled written examination score and contractual experience points:
The written exam is conducted for 100 marks. The candidate's raw CBT marks are scaled down to 75% weightage:
Scaled Written Marks = (Raw CBT Score out of 100) × 0.75
Awarded at 5 marks for each completed 12 months of eligible contractual veterinary service under Govt. of Bihar. Partial periods are calculated on a pro-rata basis:
Experience Marks = (Days Worked / 365) × 5 (Max 25)
• Candidate Raw Score in 100-mark CBT: 60 Marks
• Scaled Written CBT Score (75%): 60 × 0.75 = 45.00 Marks
• Candidate Eligible Contractual Experience: 4 full years (4 × 5) = 20.00 Marks
→ Total Final Merit Composite Score: 45.00 + 20.00 = 65.00 / 100 Marks
*Important Note: Candidates must first achieve the minimum qualifying percentage in the CBT to be considered for experience marks and subsequent merit ranking.
