IIT-JEE Ranking Procedure

The expected cutoffs for IIT-JEE 2008 will be out soon but lets have a look at how the ranks will be decided. The cutoffs are as important as how a rank is decided. The following is the ranking procedure for IIT-JEE 2008 candidates.

Only those candidates who attempt both Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be considered for the ranking.

1. Marks in each subject like Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry will be obtained by adding the marks secured in that subject part in both paper 1 and paper 2. i.e. Marks in Mathematics will be equal to marks in Mathematics section of Paper 1 + marks in Mathematics section of Paper 2. Similar procedure will be followed for Physics and Chemistry.
2. Subject-wise Cut off- All candidates whose marks are in the top 80% bracket of the total candidates appeared will qualify the cut off requirement for that subject for General/DS category. Candidates meeting the cut off requirements for all the three subjects will be considered for the ranking.
3. Subject-wise Cut offs for the reserved category candidates:There is some relaxation in the subject-wise cut offs available to reserved category candidates.
4. Based on the aggregate marks secured in the Examination, a common merit list with AIR will be prepared without any relaxed criteria. Total number of candidates declared qualified and ranked will be 1.15 times the total number of seats available at the seven IITs, IT-BHU and ISMU.
5. Reserved Category Merit Lists- In addition to a common merit list, separate merit lists of candidates belonging to the SC, ST, and PD categories will be prepared by giving some further relaxation in the aggregate cut off determined in 5 above. If a candidate belongs to more than one reserved category, then he/she for the purpose of ranking shall be considered in all the categories in which he/she qualifies.
6. Total number of candidates declared qualified in any reserved category will not exceed 1.15 times the total seats available in that category
