The normalized qualifying examination marks for JEE will be based on the student’s performance in the Board exams (i.e. his/her percentile score). The percentile score of the Boards will mainly contribute to his/her normalized marks. The weightage of normalized qualifying examination marks is only for deciding ranking of JEE (Mains) which will be used for admission to all Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs)/ NITs/IIITs but excluding IIT's.

Note: The analysis has been authored by Dr. Bimal Kumar, a well-known faculty of Physics and is the Director of Indira Memorial Education Society.

Are you feeling lost and unsure about what career path to take after completing 12th standard?

Say goodbye to confusion and hello to a bright future!
