However, where the subject offered is not taught at the undergraduate level or where the admission is sought on the basis of an allied subject and also in the case of LLB, BA LLB, MLIS, M Com and Mass Communication and similar other programmes, a tie shall be decided on the basis of aggregate marks secured by the candidate in the qualifying examination, i.e., a candidate with higher aggregate marks shall be given preference.
