as choices of answers to the questions.
Eligibility To Write JEE (Advanced) - 2015
The candidate should be among the top 1,50,000 (all categories included) in JEE
(Main) 2015. The percentages of the total number of candidates for various categories
is as follows:
50.5% for GEN (from the common merit list), 27% for OBC-NCL, 15% for SC and 7.5%
for ST. Within each of these four categories, 3% horizontal reservation is available
for PwD candidates.

Age Limit
The candidate should have been born on or after October 1, 1990 if belonging to
the GEN or OBC-NCL category and on or after October 1, 1985 if belonging to the
SC, ST or PwD category
Number of Attempts in JEE (Advanced)
A candidate can attempt JEE (Advanced) a maximum of two times and that too in consecutive
years. Therefore, JEE (Advanced) 2015 should be either the candidate’s FIRST attempt
OR the SECONDconsecutive attempt.
Earlier Admission Taken Through JEE (Advanced)-2014
The candidate should NOT have taken admission (irrespective of whether or not he/she
continued in the program) OR even accepted admission by paying admission fee at
any of the IITs or ISM in the past; even candidates whose admission was cancelled
are NOT eligible. However, candidates who have been admitted to a preparatory course
in any of the IITs in 2014 can appear for JEE (Advanced) 2015.
Performance Criteria in Qualifying Examination (QE)
Admission to IITs and ISM Dhanbad will be based only on category wise All India
Rank (AIR) in JEE (Advanced)-2015 subject to the condition that such candidates
are among the top 20 percentile of successful candidates of their Boards
in respective categories. PwD candidates will be given relaxation in the eligibility
criteria as per the decision of the Joint Admission Board of JEE (Advanced)-2015
in consonance with the directives of the Government of India.
In case a Board does not provide the information regarding the cut-off for top 20
percentile of successful candidates in respective category, the candidate will have
to produce a certificate from the concerned Board stating that he/she falls within
the top 20 percentile of successful candidates. If the candidate fails to do so,
then the CBSE percentile will be used as the criteria for deciding minimum
cut off marks in qualifying examination.
Candidates who passed their QE in 2014 will be considered on the basis of the top
20 percentile cut off marks of their boards in 2014. Candidates, who passed in 2014
and would improve their performance of QE in 2015, will be considered on the basis
of 2015 cut off marks of their respective Boards in their respective category.
If any Board awards only letter grades without providing an equivalent percentage
of marks on the grade sheet, the candidate should obtain a certificate from the
Board specifying the equivalent marks, and submit it at the time of online acceptance
of seat.
Preparatory Course
- All the sixteen IITs and ISM run preparatory courses
of one year duration for SC, ST and PwD candidates.
- In case the seats reserved for SC, ST and PwD candidates
are not filled completely, a limited number of candidates are admitted to a preparatory
course of one-year duration on the basis of further relaxation of admission criteria
Merit lists.
- Admission is given to the candidates in the preparatory
course provided (i) the seats reserved for the respective category are vacant, (ii)
candidates satisfy minimum norms, and (iii) candidates have not undergone the preparatory
course earlier.
- On successful completion of the course, the students
will be offered direct admission in July 2016 (Academic Year 2016-17) to the already
allotted undergraduate course.
- Candidates admitted to the preparatory course are also
eligible to appear for JEE (Advanced) 2016 subject to fulfilling other eligibility
criteria.
- Filling-in of choices for preparatory courses is also
through the same online portal.
Preferential Allotment Of Seats For DS Candidates
Defence Service (DS) category candidates are children of defence / paramilitary
personnel killed or permanently disabled in action during war or peacetime operations.
Two seats are available for preferential allotment in each Institute for DS category
candidates. To avail of this preferential allotment, a DS category candidate must
be in the Common Merit List of JEE (Advanced) 2015

Merit Lists
- Only candidates who appear for both Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be considered for ranking.
- The marks obtained by a candidate in Physics in JEE (Advanced) 2015 will be equal
to the marks scored in Physics part of Paper 1 plus the marks scored in Physics
part of Paper 2. Marks obtained in Chemistry and Mathematics will be calculated
in the same way.
- The aggregate marks obtained by a candidate in JEE (Advanced) 2015 is the sum of
the marks awarded to him/her in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
- Merit lists will be prepared based on the aggregate marks in JEE (Advanced) 2015.
- If the aggregate marks scored by two or more candidates are same, then the following
tie-break policy will be used for awarding ranks:
Higher rank will be assigned to the candidate who has obtained higher marks in Mathematics.
If this does not break the tie, higher rank will be assigned to the candidate who
has obtained higher marks in Physics. If there is a tie even after this, candidates
are assigned the same rank.
- Merit lists for preparatory courses will be prepared only if the number of SC,
ST and PwD candidates in the respective merit lists is less than 1.4 times the number
of seats available in the respective categories.
- A candidate who qualifies in more than one category will be considered in all the
categories to which he/she belongs for the purpose of ranking.
- There will be no waiting list for ranking.
- Only candidates who score the minimum prescribed marks in each subject in each paper
and in aggregate will be included in the merit list. The minimum prescribed marks
varies with the category. These are as shown in the following table.

Preparatory Course Merit Lists
Separate merit lists will be prepared for preparatory courses only if the number
of SC/ST/PwD candidates in the respective merit lists is less than 1.4 times the
number of seats available in the respective categories. To be in these merit lists,
candidates must score at least 2.5% in each subject and 8.75% in aggregate.
Tie-break
The tie-break policy in the various merit lists adopted for awarding ranks to the
candidates who have scored the same aggregate marks is as follows: Higher rank will
be assigned for higher marks in Mathematics, followed by marks in Physics and Chemistry.
Candidates securing same marks in all these three subjects will be assigned the
same rank.
Note: Obtaining a rank in JEE (Advanced)-2015 does not guarantee admission to any
of the courses available at IITs, and ISM Dhanbad.
