MODIFIED SCHEDULE FOR SEAT ALLOTMENT TO INCLUDE A THIRD ROUND OF SEAT ALLOTMENT

Minimum Qualifying Mark for Ranking (MQMR) and Aggregate Cut-off : JEE-2010

Aggregate Total of Different Categories (500th for GE and 100th for OBC /SC/ ST/ PD) : JEE-2010

Marks of the first ranked candidate in JEE 2010 merit list

Marks of the last ranked candidate in JEE 2010 merit list

The qualifying score in the open category has climbed from 178 in 2009 to 190 in (this year) 2010. It implies that the last candidate on the open merit list has scored 190 out of a total of 480. For the other backward categories (OBCs), the merit list cut-off stands at 171 — a 10-mark climb from last year’s 161.

The cut-offs for reserved category candidates (scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and candidates with physical disabilities) have gone up by a nominal 2%. The qualifying mark for SC/ST/PD candidates had been 18% (89/480) last year. This time, it is nearly 20% (95/480).

The IITs give the SC/ST/PD candidates a 50% relaxation on the score of the last-ranking general category candidate. Those who still fail to qualify are given a further 50% relaxation, and sent to the preparatory course. This year, the number of SC candidates qualifying has exceeded the number of available seats. But for STs/PDs, the cut-offs have been lowered by another 50% (48/480) for the preparatory course.

Although subject wise cut-offs continue to remain low, though they have improved a bit from those of 2009. For SC/ST/PD candidates, cut-offs have gone up from six (Chemistry and Mathematics) and four (Physics) in 2009 to 10 (Physics and Chemistry) and nine (Mathematics). The IITs have often been criticised for their low subject cut-offs.

The answer paper of JEE-2010 is a machine-gradable Optical Response Sheet (ORS). These sheets are scrutinized and graded with extreme care after the examination. There is NO provision for re-grading and re-totaling. No photocopies of the machine-gradable sheets will be made available. No correspondence in this regard will be entertained.

Candidates will get to know their All India Ranks (AIR) /Category ranks through our websites/SMS/IVRS onMay 26, 2010. Candidates can view their performance in JEE-2010 from JEE websites from June 3, 2010.

2. Ranking

Only those candidates who attempted both Paper-I and Paper-II will be considered for the ranking. Marks in Chemistry in JEE will be equal to marks in Chemistry section of Paper-I plus marks in Chemistry section of Paper-II . Similar procedure will be followed for Mathematics and Physics. The sum of the marks obtained in the individual subjects in JEE will be the aggregate mark for the candidate.

The average of the marks scored by all such candidates will be computed for each of the three subjects. These will be the Minimum Qualifying Marks for Ranking (MQMR) in the individual subjects.

Based on the MQMR in the individual subjects as well as the aggregate marks in the examination, a Common Merit List (CML) will be prepared without any relaxed criteria, such that the number of candidates in this list is equal to the total number of seats available in all the participating institutes put together. The aggregate marks scored by the last candidate in the CML will be the CML cut-off score (CCS).

Next, the merit list of the OBC candidates will be prepared. If the number of OBC candidates in the CML is equal to or more than 1.4 times the number of available OBC seats, then the OBC merit list will contain all these candidates.

In case the number of OBC candidates qualified in the CML is less than 1.4 times the number of available OBC seats, then relaxation (maximum of 10%) to the individual MQMR as well as to the CCS will be applied, and an OBC merit list will be prepared, in which the number of candidates will be at most 1.4 times the number of available OBC seats.

By applying 50% relaxation to the individual MQMR as well as to the CCS, separate merit list for SC, ST and PD candidates will be prepared. The number of candidates in each of these lists will be, at most 1.4 times the number of available seats in the respective categories.

While preparing the merit lists, if a candidate belongs to more than one category/ subcategory of relaxed norms, then he/she for the purpose of ranking shall be considered in all the categories in which he/she qualifies.

There will be no separate waiting list for candidates.

3. Tie-break

The tie-break criterion in the CML and category lists adopted for awarding ranks to the candidates who have scored the same aggregate marks is as follows:

For each subject, the average marks will be calculated on the basis of the marks obtained by those candidates who have scored more than or equal to MQMR in that subject.

Among the candidates having the same aggregate marks, a candidate will be ranked higher than the rest, if he/she has scored higher marks in the subject having the lowest average marks calculated as above.  If there is a tie after this procedure, then the marks obtained by the tied candidates in the subject with the second-lowest average marks will be considered, and the above procedure will be repeated. Candidates tied even after this procedure will be given the same rank.

Counselling and Admissions

1. Counselling

The details of courses available in participating institutes are given in APPENDIX-7. Some institutes may offer new courses not listed in the appendix. Information regarding these courses will be available at the time of counselling.
