And finally they asked any questions from your      side??
      
Then they said the results will be after 4 to 6      weeks.
            (On written test the selection is based on 10th      12th, graduation aggregate and also puzzles and English.      Puzzles clearing cut off is based      on your 10th ,12th and BE Aggregate, so      if u have more marks in all these then your cutoff will be less. This      info is Up to my knowledge but not sure)
