 5.2. Faculty Cadre Proportion (20M)
The reference Faculty cadre proportion is 1(F1):2(F2):6(F3)

 If AF1 = AF2= 0 then zero marks

 Maximum marks to be limited if it exceeds 25
Example: Intake = 180; AF = Available faculty, RF=Required faculty
Required number of Faculty: total students as per 5.1/20=702/20 = 35,
RF1= 1/9 x35 =4, RF2=2/9x35=8 and RF3=6/9x35= 23.
Case 1: AF1/RF1= 1; AF2/RF2 = 1; AF3/RF3 = 1;
Cadre proportion marks = (1+0.6+0.4) x12.5 = 25
Case 2: AF1/RF1= 1; AF2/RF2 = 9/8; AF3/RF3 = 22/23;
Cadre proportion marks = (1+0.7+0.4) x12.5 = limited to 25
Case 3: AF1/RF1=0; AF2/RF2=1/2; AF3/RF3=11/9; To be observed carefully
Cadre proportion marks = (0+0.3+0.49) x12.5 = 9.87
