A score list is not an appointment order — candidates whose names appear in the final score list will be called for document verification as per the schedule KEA announces. No single document verification date has been announced yet, and no cut-off marks have been stated in the score list release. Candidates should keep their original certificates ready and watch the official KEA website for the DV schedule.
