NTA has announced the new tie-breaking criteria for JEE 2025 exam on the official website. A common doubt for candidates attempting the JEE Main 2025 exam is What Is The Impact Of New Tie-Breaking Rules On JEE 2025 Aspirants? The most important effect of the new tie-breaking rules on candidates attempting JEE Main 2025 is the improved openness and fairness in the ranking system. The JEE Main tie-breaking policy is used when candidates score the same marks in the exam.
The authority employs the JEE Main 2025 tie-breaking policy to decide which candidate gets a lower rank based on the pre-determined criteria. The authority is conducting the JEE Main exam in 2 sessions, session 1 from January 22 to 31, 2025 and session 2 from April 1 to 8, 2025. It is important for candidates to understand the impact of the new tie-breaking criteria on JEE 2025 aspirants as it affects the way the ranks are allotted to the candidates.
Better focus on Mathematics: As Mathematics remains a core subject in engineering as well as one of the more technically difficult subjects, students should focus more on mathematics as it is the primary tie-breaking criteria.
Equal prioritisation for all subjects: The new policy ensures that candidates pay equal attention in all subjects. While Mathematics NTA score is the first priority for the tie-breaking, physics and chemistry come next for the tie breaking parameters. Hence, candidates should pay equal attention to all 3 subjects

Focus on Accuracy and Problem solving: Candidates should also focus on the accuracy of the problem solving of the questions. Most of the questions asked in the JEE 2025 exam will be technical or conceptual, which require candidates to apply various concepts to answer the questions. The remaining tie-breaking criteria employed is the ratio of right to wrong answers by the candidates. This means that the candidates with higher correct answers and lower incorrect answers will be given priority. The correct to incorrect answers will be considered in the order of Maths, Physics and chemistry.
NOTE: For B.Arch and B.Planning, maths remains the top priority. Whereas physics will be replaced by Aptitude and Chemistry will be replaced by drawing and planning subjects respectively.
The following changes were employed by NTA as the revised tie-breaking policy. The authority made changes in the tie-breaking criteria in both paper 1 and 2 of the JEE Main 2025 exam.
NTA score in Mathematics,
NTA score in Physics,
NTA score in Chemistry,
Candidate with less proportion of a number of attempted incorrect answers and correct answers in all the subjects in the Test,
