Rank Lists
Only candidates who appear for both Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be considered for the ranking in IIT Roorkee. The marks obtained by a candidate in the Physics in JEE (Advanced) 2015 will be equal to the marks scored in Physics part of Paper 1 plus the marks scored in the 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. Rank lists will be prepared based on the aggregate marks in JEE (Advanced) 2015. If the aggregate marks scored by two or more candidates are the same, then the following tie-break policy will be used for awarding ranks:
A higher rank will be assigned to the candidate who has obtained higher marks in Mathematics. If this does not break the tie, a 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.
