Cut-off Marks Slab Increased in IIT-JEE

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 13:15:07 +0000

The joint entrance examination (JEE) results showed a slight increase in success rate across India. Now, the merit lists recently released by the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have revealed that the entry bar across categories (both open and reserved), too, has gone up marginally. 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.

Results of JEE-2010 Counselling and Admissions

admin — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 18:01:11 +0000

1. Performance in JEE-2010 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 ...

Reservation and Preferential Allotment of Seats in JEE 2010

admin — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:51:38 +0000

As per Government of India rules candidates belonging to certain categories are admitted to seats reserved for them based on relaxed criteria. These categories are: • Scheduled Castes (SC) • Scheduled Tribes (ST) • Other Backward Castes (OBC) if they belong to Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) • Persons with Physical Disability (PD) Benefit of reservation shall be given only to those castes/tribes which are recognized by the Government of India and are included in the respective central list published by the Department of Personnel and Training. 1. SC/ST Candidates For the SC and ST categories, respectively 15% and 7.5% seats are reserved in all IITs, IT-BHU, Varanasi and ISM, Dhanbad. Candidates belonging to these categories are admitted on the basis of a relaxed criterion. In case all the reserved seats are not filled, a limited number of candidates are admitted to a Preparatory Course of one-year duration on the basis of a further relaxation. This course attempts to prepare the students in Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. On successful completion of the course, the students will be offered a direct admission to the undergraduate programmes in July 2011, against the unfilled reserved seats for JEE-2010. Candidates belonging to SC/ST categories will be required to produce the original caste/ tribe certificate issued by a competent authority in the prescribed format (APPENDIX–2). Certificates in any other format will not be accepted. These documents must be produced at the time of counselling, failing which they will not be considered for admission. Seats remaining vacant in these categories shall not be filled by candidates belonging to any other category. 2. OBC Candidates For the purpose of reservation of seats in JEE-2010, a candidate will be considered as OBC only if he/she belongs to the non-creamy layer of this category. Those belonging to the creamy layer of OBC are not entitled for reservation. For candidates belonging to OBC (non-creamy layer), 27% of the seats are reserved in all IITs, IT-BHU, Varanasi and ISM, Dhanbad and are allotted based on a relaxed criterion. In case any of the reserved seats in this category are not filled, they can be filled by candidates belonging to GE category. The OBC candidates (non-creamy layer) will be required to produce the original caste certificate issued on or after January 1, 2010 by a competent authority in the prescribed format (APPENDIX–3). Certificates in any other format will not be accepted. The certificate must be produced at the time of counselling, failing which they will NOT be considered for admission in the OBC category. 3. Persons with Disability (PD) For PD, including leprosy-cured candidates, who are otherwise fit to pursue the course, and qualify JEE with relaxed norms relevant to this category, 3% seats are reserved in each of the categories (namely, GE, OBC, SC, & ST) as specified by the Government of India. In case all the reserved seats are not filled, a limited number of candidates are admitted to a Preparatory Course of one-year duration on the basis of a further relaxation. For any category of disability (viz., locomotor, visual, speech, and/or hearing) benefit would be given to ...
