Soon after the results of the JEE Advanced examination were declared today, the website server went down. JEE Advanced chairperson ML Sharma said that they are working on the issue.

It is anticipated that the number of candidates who appeared for the exam may be less than the number of candidates who registered for the exam.

Out of around 2.45 lakh candidates who were eligible to appear for the JEE Advanced examination, only 1.65 lakh candidates registered for the exam.

Kartikey Gupta has topped the examination.

Dean academic courses, Jagadeesh Kumar, IIT Madras, which is currently the top-ranking IIT agreed that students and parents might prefer institutes such as NITs in their vicinity over the new IITs but, he added, these perceptions will fade over time. “Old IITs also started the same way as new IITs. It is a wrong perception that new IITs have a lesser preference. When I joined IIT Madras in 1972, there was nothing much around the institute. These issues related to logistics and parental concerns will eventually fade off with time,” said Kumar.

Talking to indianexpress.com Sanjay Govind Dhande, former director IIT Kanpur, head of IIITM Gwalior, an Indian engineer and educationist said that while IITs are still the top choice for both, parents and students, not all IITs are favoured. “Students do not wish to go to non-metro third generation IITs. They would rather choose a metro-based National Institute of Technology (NIT) than a non-metro based IIT.  Lot of engineering aspirants these days also look forward to doing other things such as internship etc during breaks. Logistics is also a reason why far-flung IITs are not preferred much,” he said adding, “choosing a college based on Mains score also saves them time and extra efforts needed for Advanced.”

IIT-Roorkee to release the final answer keys of the JEE Advanced first followed by the result and cut-offs.

According to the data provided by the JEE Advanced chairperson, ML Sharma, just like every year, this year too, many students who qualified the JEE Advanced – the entrance exam for admission to IITs – chose not to register for the same. In 2019, out of 11.47 lakh JEE Main candidates, 2.45 lakh students qualified for the JEE Advanced but only 1.73 lakh registered for the same.

In 2018, out of 2.31 lakh students who qualified for the exam, 1.65 lakh candidates chose to register for it. Based on the trend, the number of students is likely to fall further as not every examinee who registered, appeared for the exam.

To top the JEE Advanced, one needs to have over 300 marks out of 360. The topper of JEE (Advanced) 2018 scored a total of 337 marks, 2017 topper had 339 and the topper of 2016 had 328 marks.

Goyal - the 2018 topper - scored 117 marks in Physics, 114 marks in Chemistry and 106 marks in Mathematics (each of the subjects had 120 as the maximum marks).

Mehtani - the 2017 topper - had scored a total of 339 out of 366 marks. He scored 104 marks in Physics, 115 marks in Chemistry and 120 marks in Mathematics, each of which was out of 122 marks.

The 2016 topper - Bansal had scored a total of 320 out of 372 marks. He scored 113 marks in Physics, 105 marks in Chemistry and 102 marks in Mathematics, each of which is out of 124 marks.

Jagwani  - the 2015 topper - scored 469 marks out of 504. The 2014 topper, Chitarang Murdia secured a total of 334 marks of which 117 were in maths, 109 in Physics and 108 in chemistry.

While most of the toppers opt for IIT Bombay, in recent years, the toppers have also been opting for IIT Roorkee. It is worth noting that those who opted for the latter are native of cities located near Roorkee. Last year, Pranav Goyal from Panchkula topped the JEE Advanced. He chose IIT Roorkee along with 3328 other students. Read full story

The cut-off for the JEE Advanced exam is also likely to be lesser than last year, according to experts. While the percentage will be lowered the number of marks is on the higher end because the total marks went from 360 to 372 marks this year. The cut-off to be on the lower end of 30 per cent, according to experts.

If the number of applicants who satisfy the eligibility requirement is more than the number of seats in a programme, these applicants are ranked according to specified criteria. The cutoff is the value of that criteria at which the last person shall get admission. The cutoff is different for different programmes, and for different categories within the same programme.

Eligibility for admission is the minimum qualification that an institute believes is necessary for a course. A candidate without the minimum qualification could, potentially, face problems during the course. The Supreme Court has ruled that the difference between the eligibility for unreserved (often referred to as General) and for OBC (non-creamy layer or NCL) categories cannot be more than 10%. On the other hand, courts have allowed significantly lower eligibility for SC/ST categories (and now also Persons with Disability, or PwD) by arguing that these students should be provided additional support.

Rank lists are prepared based on the aggregate marks in JEE (Advanced) 2019 which means a total of marks obtained in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics of paper I and paper II. In case multiple students secure the same score there will be tie-breakers.

Preference I: Candidates having higher positive marks will be awarded higher rank.
Preference II: Higher rank will be assigned to the candidate who has obtained higher marks in Mathematics.

Preference II: higher rank will be assigned to the candidate who has obtained higher marks in Physics.

According to Navin C Joshi, academic head and VP (JEE and NEET), Gradeup, "The overall difficulty level of paper 1 was moderate. The Physics section was of moderate difficulty, Maths was moderate but lengthy, while Chemistry was the easiest of the three sections. A few questions asked in Physics were based on the conceptual understanding of the topics. There were many application based questions asked on this subject."

The online registration for Architecture Aptitude Test (AAT) 2019 will begin today. The registration will close tomorrow, June 15. Only candidates who qualify in JEE Advanced will be eligible to apply for AAT.
