JEE (ADVANCED) – 2013 – WHO ARE ELIGIBLE TO APPEAR

JEE (Advanced) – 2013 - who are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2013 exam - Procedure for selecting the candidates

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

·         50.5% of the 1,50,000 (75,750 candidates) will be 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 will be taken from the top rankers of the category rank lists of OBC-NCL, SC and ST, respectively. The candidates figuring in the category ranklists will be those who do not figure in the 75,750 candidates chosen from the CML.

·         3% of the candidates selected within each category will be 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) will be considered and no tie-break mechanism will be implemented at this stage. This will make 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.
