REVISED QUALIFYING MARKS FOR JEE (ADVANCED) 2015

The total marks obtained in mathematics will be the marks awarded for mathematics in
Paper1 and Paper 2. The total marks obtained in physics and chemistry will also be
calculated in the same way. The aggregate marks will be calculated as the sum of the marks
obtained in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Candidates have to satisfy the subject-wise
as well as the aggregate qualifying marks to be included in a rank list.

Maximum aggregate marks: 264 (Paper-1) + 240 (Paper-2) = 504

Maximum marks in Physics: 88 (Paper-1) + 80 (Paper-2) = 168
Maximum marks in Chemistry: 88 (Paper-1) + 80 (Paper-2) = 168
Maximum marks in Mathematics: 88 (Paper-1) + 80 (Paper-2) = 168

Tie-break rules for ranking: Candidate with higher aggregate marks will be assigned a
better/higher rank (smaller number).
If two candidates have the same aggregate marks, then the candidate with higher marks in
mathematics will be assigned a better / higher rank (smaller number).
If two candidates have the same aggregate marks and same marks in mathematics, then the
candidate with higher marks in physics will be assigned a better / higher rank (smaller
number).
If two candidates have the same aggregate marks and same marks in mathematics and
physics, then both the candidates will be assigned the same rank.

Rank lists for preparatory courses

Rank lists for preparatory courses (PC) will be prepared only if the number of
candidates in the OPEN-PwD, OBC-NCL-PwD, SC, SC-PwD, ST or ST-PwD rank lists is <=
1.4 times the number of seats in the corresponding categories. Candidates who are
NOT in the OPEN-PwD, OBC-NCL-PwD, SC, SC-PwD, ST or ST-PwD rank lists will be
included in the preparatory course rank list(s). A candidate has to satisfy subject-wise
as well as aggregate qualifying marks to be present in a rank list.
