Huge Discrimination against students writing JEE Mains 2013

It is a well known fact that merit lists for NITs/IIITs/CFTIs as well many Deemed Universities as well as SECs (State Engineering Colleges) will be prepared by the CBSE based on the following parameters
For NITs/IIITs/CFTIs and other Deemed Universities who have accepted the below
• 40% weightage to the NORMALISED Board Marks based on consideration of five subjects (which five subjects are to be considered have been clearly specified by the CBSE vide their letter to CoBSE)
• 60% weightage to JEE Mains marks

For State Engineering Colleges in states which have opted to scrap their state entrance tests and opted to go for JEE Mains
• 50% or any other weightage as decided by the State, to the NORMALISED Board Marks based on consideration of five subjects (which five subjects are to be considered have been clearly specified by the CBSE vide their letter to CoBSE)
• 50% or any other weightage as decided by the State , to JEE Mains marks
In all previous years from 2012 & before a student preparing for admission to any of the NITs/IIITs/CFTIs or other Deemed Universities who admitted students based on AIEEE ranks knew that
• They have to prepare for Board exams to secure a clearly specified number in terms of percentage as specified by the NITs/IIITs/CFTIs or other Deemed Universities so as to qualify for admission
• They have to prepare for the AIEEE exam knowing very well that they need to score in a range of given marks so as to target their desired College and/or Branch.
In case a student who wishes to write JEE Mains in 2013 and wants to make a strategy to suitably prepare for the Boards & JEE Mains he/she can’t do so because CBSE has denied to share the following information before the conduct of JEE Mains 2013
• What is the formula CBSE is going to use to normalize the Board marks which would be used post application of various weightages, as per requirements stipulated by the CBSE for preparing merit lists for admissions to NITs/IIITs/CFTIs in the academic year 2013-14 & beyond as well as used post application of various weightages as per requirements stipulated by various States who have adopted JEE Mains for preparing merit lists for admissions to their State Engineering Colleges in the academic year 2013-14 & beyond?
Please state the above formula giving the complete explanation of any short-forms/abbreviations and/or variables used in the formula along with suitable examples.
• What is the formula CBSE is going to use to calculate the 40%/50% weightage on the normalized Board marks and 60%/50% weightage to JEE Main marks to prepare the merit list for admission to NITs/IIITs/CFTIs in the academic year 2013-14 & beyond & for preparing merit lists for states who have opted for JEE Mains for admission to their state engineering colleges in the academic year 2013-14 & beyond?
Please state the above formula giving the complete explanation of any short-forms/abbreviations and/or variables used in the formula along with suitable examples.
Strangely the CBSE has said the following

“This information shall be given to you at the time of announcement of ranks achieved by you on the base of marks obtained in JEE-Main 2013 as well as QE.”
This is probably not correct on the part of CBSE as this information would not be of much use once the ranks are declared.
