JEE Main 2025 New Rules Announced for Score Tie-Breaking Policy.
One of the major JEE Main 2025 new rules that has been recently introduced by NTA is particularly concerning the score tie-breaking policy. If two students score the same marks, the method for determining who gets the better rank has been updated as explained below for aspirants ease of understanding:
Removal of Age Factor : In the previous years, age was considered in the tie-breaking process. However, starting from JEE Main 2025, age has been removed from the calculation. This means that if two applicants have equal scores, their age will no longer be a factor in deciding their ranks.
Current Tie-Breaking Steps: The New JEE Main 2025 Tie-Breaking Policy now follows the below-outlined criteria
A)Higher score in Mathematics: If there is a tie, the student with the higher score in Mathematics will be given a better rank.
B)Next, score in Physics: If scores in Mathematics are also equal, the Physics score will be considered.
C)Next, score in Chemistry: If Mathematics and Physics scores are the same , the Chemistry score will be next.
D) Last if all 3 subjects score are same including Total score, then
Correct to Wrong Answers Ratio:
**If there is still a tie, the applicants will be ranked based on the lower ratio of correct answers to wrong answers across all subjects, followed by Mathematics, Physics, and then Chemistry.
E) Same Rank for Remaining Applicants: If a tie still exists after these criteria, applicants will be assigned the same rank.
