The uncertainly over the IIT JEE format seems to be resolved now. In the meeting today, a compromise solution was worked out and here are the key points
JEE will have two parts – JEE Advanced and JEE Main
JEE Advanced will be conducted after JEE Main with enough time gap such that JEE Main results are available
Admissions to the IITs will be based only on the rank achieved in JEE advanced test
JEE advance will be conducted by the IITs and the rank achieved in this exam will be considered for the admissions to IITs.
Results of JEE main will be used to filter students for JEE advanced
Around 1,50,000 students will be filtered from JEE Main to appear for JEE advanced. However the ranking from JEE Main will not be used for the admission to the IITs
XII board marks will be used as eligibility criteria
Only those students who are in top twenty percentile [in other words, students who get more than 80 percentile] in their respective boards will be eligible for the JEE advanced.
The new pattern will be implemented from year 2013
Under this compromised formula, the new structure of JEE will be implemented from year 2013 itself.
The admission criteria for NITs and other centrally funded institutes is not clear yet. We will be back with updates soon.
10th board percentile does not mean percentage right? For example if in the state board that I would appear in (typically the marks are lower than CBSE) – if I get 78% marks in my board exam would I be eligible if my percentile is 84%, i.e. if I am in the top 16% of the students who cleared the same state board as me? My reading is yes – but please confirm.
Its percentile and not percentage. And its 12th board and not 10th board. Percentile means the percentage of students that scored lower than you. Lets say if there are 100 students and you scored 78% and your rank is 20th, your will still be 80 percentile and eligible.
what iz the sylablus of the main exam? main paper is set by CBSE? their was some fighting to drop english from the main exam. is it still there?
it nice..
Sir, I have got 72.8% in cbsc 12 this year. Am i eligible for next year jee mains? if not, should i have to give improvement exam or totally new exam?
Adnan, check what is your percentile. Percentage and percentile are two different things. check here – http://eduflix.tv/ask/questions/1897/question-about-percentile-percentile-versus-percentage
How can I check my percentile
Hmm.. I think your board will have to provide that information as you will have to know how many students ranked below you to find out percentile. this will be an extra task for education boards
What is the margin percentage in ISC examinations for being in top 20 percentile?
What is the criteria for sc/sts and obc students??????
This should be implemented for students who are entering in class 11th this year as the syallbus covered for IIT / Engineering entrance is for 2 years . You can not change rules of the game , after the match has already begun , for students entering class 12th now , half the match is already over . Hope authorities are sensible enough to understand this simple logic and leave their personal egos which are harming careers of innocent students .
what is the 80 percentile for bihar board this year?
please sir tell me its very urgent.
around 70%
Good . At least IITs are also considering now for some minimum eligibility criteria like BITS PIlani where min 80% criteria is already there for so many years.
It will be still a greater step if reservation is also done up with this proposal . These premier institutes should not have any reservation.- Only merit shoud prevail.
i got 79% marks in isc am i eligible for iit jee
Azhar percentage and percentile are different. So even if you got 79%, you might be in top 20 percentile. You will have to check with your board.
sir what is d top 20 percentile for isc board????!!
yes it is the wright thing to deserve that students can even to suceed in thier life.
how is percentage calculated by boards i.e is additional subject like physical education also included for calculating percentage or only one with more marks among c++ and physical education is seen
