GDS to MTS
The GDS to MTS list (Annexure F) shows only Paper I marks, so selection for MTS appears to be based on Paper I.
Very high competition: in the GDS to MTS not-selected list, the first UR candidates have 96 out of 96. So even a perfect Paper I score did not guarantee a UR seat, because ties were broken as per Directorate rules.
Tie-break: when marks were equal, rank was decided as per Directorate letter No. 04-08/2019-SPN-I dated 11.12.2020.
