JEE Main Eligible For Engineering Admission Criteria

JEE Main Eligible For Engineering 2014 Admission Criteria | Negative JEE Main Marks Admission to engineering 2014

STRANGE but true. The students with negative score in JEE (Main) also are eligible for admissions to Maharashtra State Engineering Colleges. The reason? The average score of Physics-Chemistry-Mathematics (PCM) group of Class XII and JEE (Main) is required to be jusi 'non-zero' to secure admissions. Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) introduced JEE examination for admissions to engineering colleges from the year 2013. Some of the states including Maharashtra did not participate in it last year. This year, all states have registered their participation. JEE is conducted in two phases -- JEE (Main) and JEE (Advanced). JEE (Main) is conducted for admissions 10 Stale engineering colleges, various National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs). The first 1.5 lakh lop rankers of JEE (Main) become eligible to appear in JEE (Advanced) where from ihey could go 10 Indian Institute of Technology (IU).

If a student wants to take admission in State engineering colleges, he or she is required to have only *non-zero' score of the average of JEE (Main) and PCM group of Class XII. The score for admission is calculated as 60 per cent of the percentage score in JEE (Main) and 40 per cent of percentage score in PCM group in Class XII. A student can get admission to engineering college on the basis of sum of these two scores.

However, due to the requirement of only 'non-zero' score, a student with even negative score in JEE (Main) may gel admission to engineering college.
