IIT-Roorkee Adjusts Admission Policy for JEE Candidates Amid CBSE OSM Controversy The Indian Institute of Technology-Roorkee (IIT-Roorkee) announced on Friday, June 5, 2026, that students who do not meet the minimum Class 12 marks requirement for admission to its undergraduate programs can still participate in the ongoing counseling process. The institute clarified that these candidates will be allocated seats based on their JEE (Advanced) rank rather than their Class 12 scores. This adjustment applies to students in the general, OBC-NCL, GEN-EWS categories, who must have at least 75% marks in their Class 12 examinations, and those in SC/ST/PwD categories, who are eligible if they secure 65% or higher. IIT-Roorkee, which administered the JEE (Advanced) exam this year, emphasized that the revised policy allows students with lower Class 12 scores to fill their choices during the current counseling round. The institute stated that seats will be allocated based on the candidates’ JEE ranks, provided they submit a revised scorecard meeting the required percentage criteria by July 15. The revised scorecard must be emailed to orgjee@iitr.ac.in, with the subject line specifying the candidate’s category and the required percentage. The JEE (Advanced) exam serves as the primary gateway for admission to IITs and other top engineering institutions in India. Under the standard eligibility rules, candidates must achieve a minimum of 75% in their Class 12 results or equivalent examinations. However, IIT-Roorkee’s updated policy acknowledges the challenges faced by students who may have scored below these thresholds due to various factors.#class_12 #cbse #jee_advanced #iitroorkee #osm_controversy
JEE Advanced 2026 Cut-Off Analysis: What Previous Year Trends Reveal About Expected Scores The JEE Advanced 2026 cutoff marks are expected to follow a pattern shaped by historical trends, with the qualifying scores for different categories projected to range between 46-51 marks for SC/ST/PwD candidates and 93-100 marks for the General category out of a total of 360. These estimates are based on the performance of top 2.5 lakh candidates and the difficulty level of the exam, which will be set by IIT Roorkee for the 2026 cycle. The cutoffs for OBC-NCL and EWS candidates are anticipated to fall between 83-90 marks, while SC/ST/PwD candidates may need to score 46-51 marks to qualify. The qualifying cutoff for JEE Advanced is inherently unpredictable, as it depends on two primary factors: the difficulty level of the exam and the relative performance of the top candidates. Over the past five years, the minimum percentage required to qualify has fluctuated significantly, reflecting changes in exam patterns and the preparedness of students. From 2021 to 2025, the aggregate qualifying marks for the Common Rank List (CRL) ranged between 15% and 30% of the total score. For instance, in 2021-2022, the cutoff was relatively low, with CRL candidates needing around 15-17% of the total score. However, in 2023 and 2024, the cutoff rose sharply to over 30% due to increased familiarity with the exam format and the use of high-quality online study resources. In 2025, there was a slight decline, with CRL candidates requiring approximately 20-21% to qualify. For the 2026 cycle, the expected cutoffs are calculated based on past trends and high-scoring patterns. The General category is projected to require 93-100 marks, which corresponds to 26-28% of the total score.#common_rank_list #iit_roorkee #jee_advanced #general_category #obc_ncl

NTA Releases JEE Mains 2026 Provisional Answer Key and Response Sheets Today The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the release of the provisional answer key for the JEE Mains 2026 Session 2 exam on April 11, 2026. The answer key, which will be available on the official website jeemain.nta.nic.in, will provide the correct responses to all questions from the exam. Candidates are required to log in using their application number and password to access the key and the response sheet. The provisional answer key is subject to challenges, and the final version will be released after reviewing objections. The release of the answer key coincides with the availability of the candidate response sheet, which records the answers marked by students during the exam. NTA will make both documents accessible under the respective login credentials of the candidates. The response sheet will remain available for one or two days, prompting students to download it immediately to avoid any issues. The process for challenging the provisional answer key involves submitting objections online, accompanied by supporting evidence. A fee of INR 200 per question is required for each challenge. NTA will review all objections and release the final answer key, which will be used to calculate the JEE Mains 2026 results. Candidates can calculate their scores by comparing their marked responses on the response sheet with the official answer key. The scoring system awards four marks for each correct answer and deducts one mark for each incorrect response. This method allows students to estimate their performance before the official results are announced. The tentative release date for the answer key is April 11, with the exact time yet to be confirmed. Typically, the key becomes available on the portal in the afternoon or late evening.#nta #nta_nic_in #jeemain #jee_mains #jee_advanced
