JEE Main 2019 Paper 1 Official Answer Key - April 9

Hello,

You can fill the JEE form without a surname if your official documents (Aadhaar, 10th certificate) do not include one.

• Enter your name exactly as it appears in your school records to avoid discrepancies.
• If the form requires a surname, use a dot (.) or NA if permitted.
• During counseling and admission , issues may arise if your name differs from documents.
• You may need an affidavit stating both names refer to the same person.

Hello,

Achieving the required 75% in your Class 12 board exams is crucial for admission into IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs) through JEE Main. Given your situation, consider the following options:

1. Top 20 Percentile Criterion : If your aggregate marks place you in the top 20 percentile of your Goa Board, you may still be eligible for admission. Verify the specific percentile cut-off for your examination year.

2. Alternative Examinations : Explore enrolling in the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) to retake your Class 12 subjects. NIOS provides opportunities to improve academic records, and its certifications are recognized for JEE Main eligibility.

3. Private Candidates : Investigate if the Goa Board allows you to appear as a private candidate for additional improvement exams beyond the usual attempts. This may provide another chance to enhance your scores.

4. State Engineering Colleges : Consider applying to state engineering colleges or private institutions that may have different eligibility criteria and might not strictly require the 75% threshold.

It's essential to consult the official JEE Main guidelines and the Goa Board's regulations to understand all available options and ensure compliance with their requirements.

Hello,

It is unlikely that a 27 percentile in JEE Main will be sufficient for admission to Kokrajhar Engineering College , as the cutoff scores tend to be much higher. However, this can vary based on factors like:

1. Category : Reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC) may have lower cutoffs.
2. Competition : Cutoffs fluctuate each year depending on the number of applicants.
3. State Quota : Local candidates might have a different cutoff.
4. Branch Preference : Popular branches may have higher cutoffs.

You should check the specific year’s cutoff or consider alternative options like state-level exams.

A 7.3 percentile score in JEE corresponds to a relatively low mark range. To give you a better idea, here are some approximate mark ranges for different percentiles in JEE Main¹:

- Percentile Range | Approximate Marks

- 99.5+ percentile | 87+ marks (Physics), 71+ marks (Chemistry), 60+ marks (Mathematics)

- 90-99 percentile | 36-60 marks (Physics), 30-50 marks (Chemistry), 20-40 marks (Mathematics)

- 70-89 percentile | 17-35 marks (Physics), 11-29 marks (Chemistry), 8-19 marks (Mathematics)

- 50-69 percentile | 8-16 marks (Physics), 5-10 marks (Chemistry), 4-7 marks (Mathematics)

- *Below 10 percentile* | *Below 8 marks (Physics), below 5 marks (Chemistry), below 4 marks (Mathematics)*

Considering your 7.3 percentile score, your marks would likely fall in the lower end of the spectrum, possibly below 8 marks in Physics, below 5 marks in Chemistry, and below 4 marks in Mathematics. However, please note that these are rough estimates and actual marks may vary depending on the exam's difficulty level and normalization process.

To determine your JEE Main 2025 score and percentile, let's break down the calculation process:

Calculating Your Raw Score

1. Correct Answers: You attempted 160 questions, and assuming the remaining 2 questions were wrong, you got 158 questions correct.

2. Raw Score: For each correct answer, you get 4 marks. So, your raw score would be: 158 correct answers * 4 marks = 632 marks.

Normalization and Percentile Calculation

1. Normalization: Since JEE Main is conducted in multiple sessions, the scores are normalized to ensure fairness. This process involves calculating the percentile score based on the relative performance of candidates in each session.

2. Percentile Score: Your percentile score of 77 indicates that you performed better than 77% of the candidates who appeared for the exam.

Possible Reasons for the Discrepancy

1. Normalization Effect: The normalization process might have affected your score, leading to a lower percentile than expected.

2. Difficulty Level: The exam might have been more challenging than you anticipated, resulting in a lower percentile score.

3. Number of Candidates: The number of candidates appearing for the exam might have been higher than expected, affecting the percentile calculation.

Keep in mind that the percentile score is a relative measure, and it's essential to focus on your absolute score and performance.

Hello,

To assess if your daughter can get admission to the Computer Science (CS) branch, consider the following:

1. 80% in 10+2 (PCBM) : Strong academic performance.
2. 60 Percentile in JEE : Indicates a decent score but may not be enough for top-tier institutes.
3. Institute-Specific Criteria : Admission chances depend on the cutoffs of specific colleges or universities, which vary annually.
4. Additional Factors : Consider the category, reservation, and other factors that affect the cutoff.
5. State/Private Universities : There might be more flexible admission options compared to IITs/NITs.

Hello

With a 97.87 percentile in JEE Mains , your expected rank would be around 23,000 - 26,000 (approximate).

Your chances of getting NIT Kurukshetra depend on:

1. Branch Preference :

Core branches like CSE, IT, ECE usually close at higher ranks (below 10,000 for General category).

Civil, Mechanical or Production Engineering may have higher closing ranks.

2. Category :

If you belong to General (Open), getting top branches is tough but lower-demand branches may be possible.

For OBC/EWS/SC/ST categories, you have better chances.

3. Home State Quota :

If you are from Haryana , you get Home State Quota , improving your chances.

Hope this gives you the clarity you need.

Hello Aditi,

Since your Aadhaar DOB is incorrect and still not updated, but your 10th marksheet has the correct DOB, follow these steps before the JEE registration deadline (Feb 25):

1. Use Your 10th Marksheet – JEE considers the DOB in your 10th certificate as final proof.
   
   
2. Proceed with Registration – Fill in the correct DOB (as per 10th marksheet) in the JEE form, even if Aadhaar is incorrect.
   
   
3. Upload Alternative Proof – If Aadhaar is required, try uploading another valid document (like a passport, birth certificate, or school ID).
   
   
4. Check Aadhaar Status – Track your Aadhaar update on the UIDAI website or visit an Aadhaar center for an urgent update.
   
   
5. Contact NTA Helpline – If Aadhaar causes issues during JEE registration, call NTA helpline for guidance.

Since the 10th marksheet is the main proof, you should not face issues during admission. Keep checking your Aadhaar update regularly.
