| Only those candidates who
attempted both Paper 1 and Paper 2 were considered for
preparing the merit lists. The marks obtained by a candidate
in Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics are considered to be
the sum of the marks obtained in the corresponding parts in
Paper 1 and Paper 2. The sum of the marks obtained in the
individual subjects in JEE will be the aggregate mark for
the candidate.
Minimum
Qualifying Mark for Ranking (MQMR)
The average of the
marks scored by all such candidates was computed for each of
the three subjects. These averages were 10.44, 10.12 and
7.81 (up to two decimals) for Chemistry, Mathematics and
Physics, respectively. These are the minimum qualifying mark
for ranking (MQMR) in the individual subjects. Thus, a
candidate qualified for ranking without relaxed norms only
when he/she scored at least 11, 11 and 8 marks in Chemistry,
Mathematics and Physics, respectively.
Tie-Break
The tie-break
criterion in the merit lists adopted for awarding ranks to
the candidates who have scored the same aggregate marks is
as follows. For each subject, the mean (i.e., the average)
marks has been calculated on the basis of the marks obtained
by those candidates who have scored more than or equal to
MQMR in that subject. These averages are 37.68, 35.29 and
33.68 (up to two decimals) for Chemistry, Mathematics and
Physics, respectively. Thus, the average is the lowest for
Physics and highest for Chemistry. Among the candidates
having the same aggregate marks, a candidate has been ranked
higher than the rest, if he/she has scored higher marks in
Physics. If there is a tie after this, then a candidate has
been ranked higher than the rest, if he/she has scored
higher marks in Physics. Candidates tied even after this
procedure, have been given the same rank.
Common Merit
List (CML)
Based on the MQMR in
the individual subjects, the aggregate marks obtained by the
candidates and the above tie-breaking procedure and, a
common merit list (CML) was prepared, without any relaxed
criteria. The CML contained 8295 candidates in all. The
aggregate marks scored by the last candidate in the CML is
178 and this is the CML cut-off score (CCS).
Category Merit
Lists
Next, the merit list
for OBC candidates has been prepared with 10% relaxation in
MQMR and CML cut-off score. Similarly, merit lists for SC,
ST and PD candidates have been prepared with 50% relaxation
in MQMR and CML cut-off score. The numbers of candidates
appeared in OBC, SC, ST and PD merit lists are 1930, 967,
208 and 138, respectively.
Preparatory
Merit Lists
To select candidates
for Preparatory Course against the unfilled seats reserved
for SC, ST and PD candidates, three Preparatory Merit Lists
have been prepared with relaxation of 50% in MQMR and
aggregate cut-off for SC, ST and PD merit lists. The number
of candidates in the preparatory merit lists was at most 1.5
times the number of vacant seats in these categories.
Extended Merit
Lists
Extended merit lists
for GE (common), OBC, SC, ST and PD candidates were prepared
with further relaxations in aggregate cut-off, but not in
MQMR, for use of other institutes like IISERs, IIST, RGIPT
and IIMS. The lengths of these lists are six times the
lengths of corresponding main merit lists of JEE-2009.
