X. RESULTS OF JEE-2010

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-totalling. 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 on
May 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.

4. Preparatory course

A further relaxation of 50% is given based on the
aggregate mark of the last candidate in the SC, ST and
PD category merit lists. Separate preparatory course lists
will be prepared for SC, ST and PD by including the
candidates meeting this further relaxation. The number of
candidates in these lists will be limited to 1.5 times the
number of seats remaining vacant after exhausting the
respective categories.
