Deepti Taneja further said, “We are getting queries from candidates who do not have certificates but wish to apply under the ECA category… They will not be debarred just because they do not have certificates. They will get zero marks out of 15 but their score in the trials will be taken into account.”
Meanwhile, Taneja also made it clear that in the quiz category, students will be tested on general knowledge and not on subject-specific knowledge.
