Cut-Off Marks and Ranking for JEE (Advanced) - 2016
Only those candidates who attempted both Paper - 1 and Paper - 2 of JEE (Advanced) - 2016 will be considered for the ranking. Marks in Physics in JEE (Advanced) - 2016 will be equal to marks in Physics section of Paper - 1 plus marks in Physics section of Paper - 2. Similar procedures will be followed for Chemistry and Mathematics. The sum of the marks obtained in the individual subjects will be the aggregate marks for the candidate.
Rank Lists: Based on the performance in JEE (Advanced) - 2016, a Common Merit List (CML) will be prepared. Separate category wise merit lists are also prepared simultaneously as per the declared cut-off percentages as given below.

*Separate merit lists will be prepared for preparatory course only if the number of SC/ST/PD candidates in the respective merit lists is less than 1.4 times the number of seats available in the respective categories.
While preparing the merit lists, if a candidate belongs to more than one category 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 such candidates.
Tie- break criteria: The tie-break criterion in the various merit lists adopted for awarding ranks to the candidates who have scored the same aggregate marks is as follows: Higher rank for higher marks in Mathematics, followed by marks in Physics and same rank in case both the candidates have the same marks in each of the three subjects.
