How Rank Is Determined — Equal Marks
When two or more students score the same total marks, LBS Centre applies a tie-breaking criterion to assign final ranks. The exact formula is published in the official Kerala MCA 2026 prospectus on the official portal. For state-level MCA exams, section-wise performance — typically in Mathematics and Statistics and Computer Science — is used to differentiate students who are tied on total marks.
If you scored 100 marks, your final rank within the 11–80 band may shift based on your section-wise performance relative to others at the same total. Students can download the 2026 prospectus from lbsapplications.kerala.gov.in/mca2026/ to review the exact tie-breaking rules for this cycle.
