Who all are eligible for the JEE Advanced 2019?
Students who have qualified for the JEE Main and feature in top 70 percentile will be eligible to take the JEE Advanced exam. The JEE Advanced 2019 will be conducted by IIT-Roorkee, and the exam is slated to be held on May 29. The best score will be considered for students who take both the January and the April sessions of JEE Main.
How will JEE Main rank be calculated?
For those unaware, JEE Main ranks will be calculated based on percentile scores and not raw scores. Raw scores will only be considered for breaking ties in JEE Main rank.
Why will percentile scores be used?
Since the JEE Main is being held in multiple sessions and on multiple dates, question papers will vary. Thus, to maintain equivalence between candidates who might get tougher or easier papers, the NTA will use a normalization process. Under the process, relative performances of candidates for their respective papers will be taken into account, and their percentile scores will be calculated using a pre-determined formula.
