[Statutory authority: Civil Service Law, §7 ] No candidate shall be passed in an examination or have his name entered upon an eligible list who fails to attain a passing mark in the examination as a whole, or who fails to meet minimum standards prescribed for any subject or parts of subjects of the examination; provided, however, that a candidate whose performance rating is unsatisfactory may be passed in a promotion examination if he meets minimum standards and receives a passing mark in all other subjects and parts of subjects of the examination.
