JEE Advanced 2014

Summary of JEE Advanced 2013

In the 45th meeting of the Council of IITs, held on 27th June, 2012, new format for IITs admission was adopted, as per this new format – “Admission to IITs will be based only on category wise All India Rank (AIR) in JEE (Advanced)
subject to condition that such candidates are in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates of their Boards in applicable categories”.

Accordingly, admissions to the undergraduate programmes at IITs and ISM, Dhanbad, for the academic session starting in July,2013, were done based on the rank of a candidate in the JEE(Advanced)-2013.

The candidates were to take the Paper 1 of JEE(Main), conducted by
the CBSE, on 7th April, 2013 (offline) and 9th, 22nd, 23rd and 25th April (online).

The top 1,50,000 candidates, from all categories, based on their JEE(Main) scores, were to be eligible for appearing in JEE(Advanced) – 2013.

Procedure used to select top 1, 50, 000 students

The following procedure was used for selecting the 1,50,000 candidates who were eligible to appear for JEE (Advanced)- 2013 based on their performance in JEE (Main) -2013.

1. 50.5% of the 1,50,000 (75,750 candidates) were taken from the top rankers of the Common Merit List (CML) of JEE (Main). 27% (40,500), 15% (22,500) and 7.5% (11,250) candidates were taken from the top rankers of the category rank lists of OBC-NCL, SC and ST, respectively. The candidates figuring in the category rank lists were those who did not figure in the 75,750 candidates chosen from the CML.
2. 3% of the candidates selected within each category were those belonging to PwD (Persons with Disability) sub-category, who figure in the respective rank lists of JEE (Main).

Only the candidate’s aggregate marks in JEE (Main) was considered and no tie-break mechanism was implemented at this stage. This made the list of candidates eligible to appear in JEE (Advanced)-2013 slightly more than 1,50,000 due to bunching of candidates with the same aggregate marks at the bottom of each category.

A total of 1,52,351 candidates were eligible to apply for JEE(Advanced). Of these, 1,26,749 candidates registered for the JEE (Advanced) – 2013.

In respect of those students who passed their Board examination for the first time in 2012, the eligibility criteria for joining any of the IITs or ISM Dhanbad may be 60% marks in their 12th Board or equivalent (55% for SC/ST/PD candidates). For those candidates who appear in their Board examinations for the first time in 2013, the eligibility criteria will remain ‘top 20 percentile’ in their Boards, category-wise. This will be a one-time exception for JEE (Advanced) – 2013 only.
2. For those students who passed their 12th Board examinations in 2012 but are re-appearing in the 2013 Board examinations with a view to improve their performance, 60% rule will apply if they use their 2012 Board examination results and ‘top 20 percentile’ rule will apply if they use their 2013 Board examination results. This too will be a one-time exception for JEE (Advanced) – 2013 only.
3. In case the percentile score is not available from any testing agency, the CBSE cut-off score for top 20 percentile for the student’s category will be used.
4. For all Foreign Nationals, the eligibility criteria based on the qualifying examination shall be 60% aggregate marks.
