Chandigarh based IIT-JEE trainer Kunal Singh told Indian Express."Sixty percent weightage is given to the marks obtained by students in IIT (Main) and 40 percent weightage is given to the 12th board marks. Only after the CBSE results are out will the ranks be finalised. For now, CBSE has only declared the scores for JEE Main 2016 for students who took the exam online/offline."
The CBSE also released the cut-off marks for JEE (Advanced) for different categories. This year the cut off marks for the JEE (Main) examination has changed. The JEE Main (2016) cut-off marks for the general category students is 100 marks less than last year's cut-off at 105. However, this year the cut off marks for scheduled caste category increased from 50 to 52 and 44 to 48 for the scheduled tribe category students. The cut off marks for the other backward castes students remain 70 this year.
"The cut-off marks for the general category are almost the same as last year. In 2015, the cut-off marks for general category were 115, whereas that in JEE (Main) 2014 were 105. Decrease in the number of candidates appearing for the JEE exams in the last two years and the increase in complexity of the exam explain the consecutive decrease in cut-off marks for JEE (Mains)," he added.
