Provided that if the number of marks assignable to the subjects chosen by a candidate in accordance with these conditions falls short of the total marks permissible, he may be allowed to select another subject, although the marks for this subject make the possible maximum aggregate of marks for the subjects taken greater than 2,200; but in any such case the candidate shall be assigned such total marks only in the examination as shall bear the same proportion to 2,200 as his actual marks do to the possible maximum aggregate of the subjects taken by him.
