Example 1: one weak paper sinks the part, one strong paper is banked

The aggregate is comfortably above 50%, but one paper at 44% fails the part. Civil Services Rules at 63.3% is banked: next time, this candidate sits four papers, not five.

Example 2: every paper passed, part failed

Five passes, one fail. Six more marks anywhere would have passed the part. And because no paper reached 60%, nothing is banked — this candidate starts the next sitting from scratch.
