Definition of "First Class" for the purpose of faculty selection:

However, for those institutes which award first class, the minimum of 60% or the percentage of marks or grades at which the institute awards first class is taken as the criterion for first class. Nevertheless, the criterion for first class shall not be lower than 58% in any case.
