Question: What should be done in Aditya's case? ​​

Eligibility Requirements:

Master’s in English/Linguistics/Education with ≥68% → Not satisfied (Aditya has 66%)

Minimum 6 years of experience → Satisfied (follow) (Aditya has 9 years)

At least 3 years in academic content creation → Satisfied (follow) (Aditya has 4 years)

Managed a team of 5+ members for at least 1 year → Satisfied (follow) (Aditya has 2 years)

Minimum 2 published research papers → Satisfied (follow) (Aditya has 3 papers)

Clause 1: 1 paper + 8+ years + B.Ed./M.Ed. → Not applicable

Clause 2: Marks <68% + 3+ papers + training certifications → Applicable (follow)

So, Since Aditya’s marks are below 68%, he cannot be selected directly. However, as he has 3 published papers, the special clause directs that he should be referred to the Chief Editor.

Thus, correct option is (b).
