For instance, for a person who has studied up to say, first year B.A., his/her educational attainment will be considered as only secondary (code 05). Also, For a person who has studied up to 12th standard but has not appeared for the final examination or has failed or even passed in the examination, his/ her educational attainment will be considered under 'secondary' and higher secondary'. The relevant codes to be used for recording entries in column (7) are :

A person who can both read and write a simple message in at least one in at least one language is to be considered
literate. Those who are not able to do so, are to be considered not literate and will be assigned code 01. Those who are literate but never attended any school, will be assigned code 02. Those who are by definition literate but are yet to pass a primary standard examination will get code 03. Similarly codes 04, 05, 06 and 07 will indicate the successive higher standards of examinations passed. A degree holder will get one of the codes 08 to 10 or 99 depending on the subject studied. For code 10, medical graduates belonging to systems of medicine other than allopathic, e.g., homeopathic, ayurvedic, etc. are also to be taken into consideration. Code 08 will also include graduates in 'forestry', 'fishery science', etc. If more than one of the codes 08 to 10 or 99 are relevant for a person the following procedure
will be adopted :
(i) when code 99 as well as one of the codes 07 to 09 are relevant code 99 will not be considered.
(ii) when more than one of the codes 07 to 09 are relevant, the code indicating the degree last obtained will be
considered.
Persons who have attained proficiency in Oriental languages (e.g. Sanskrit, Persian etc.) through formal but not the general type of education will be classified appropriately at the equivalent level of general education standard.
