Normalisation procedure:

Since JIPMER 2016 would be conducted in 2 sessions, a normalization procedure is being adopted as decided by experts. This procedure would be arrived at after analyzing the past MBBS entrance tests of JIPMER. This would be used to determine interse merit/ranking during counselling.

Percentile scores would be the normalized scores for this exam. Percentile scores would be calculated to seven decimal places in order to avoid bunching of ranks.

Merit List:

The percentile scores of the applicants of both the sessions would be merged and arranged and a common merit list would be made.

Minimum percentile cut off to be considered for admission to the Institute and for the names to be included in the merit list

General candidates – 50 percentile

General OPH candidates – 45 percentile

Scheduled Caste / Scheduled Tribe / Other Backward Classes - 40 percentile

In case of a tie:
