At first, two mock rounds will be held by JoSAA followed by seven rounds of counselling. Candidates will be able to know the seats they will be allotted based on their choices filling by participating institutions in these mock rounds for JEE Main. The seat allotment process will be done based on the choices filled by candidates during JoSAA 2020 registration.
On September 12, JEE Advanced 2020 registration will begin. The top 2,50,000 candidates seeking admission to Indian institutes of technology will have to sit for JEE Advanced 2020.
NTA introduced the concept of holding JEE Main exam twice a year with the aim to reduce stress among students and provide a second chance to students who may end up performing poorly despite talent and preparation due to any factor.
For students who appear in both the exams, the better of the two scores will be considered for ranking and counselling.
JEE Main Result 2020: Factors determining the JEE Main cutoff
There are two types of cutoffs: qualifying cutoff and the admission cutoff.
Qualifying cutoff is to screen candidates for JEE Advanced. Test-takers who meet the qualifying cutoff will be eligible to attempt the JEE Advanced examination.
Admission cutoff is the cutoff released by JoSAA on behalf of the participating institutes and is the minimum rank candidates should secure in JEE Main to ensure higher chances of admission into NITs, IIITs and GFTIs. It will be released after every round of seat allotment.
It should be noted that the cutoff will vary category wise, institute wise and engineering branch wise. Also, various factors are considered while determining the cutoff. Few of the factors are listed below:
· Difficulty level of the exam
· Previous year cutoff trends
· Number of candidates applying for the course
· Number of candidates appearing for the exam
· Availability of seats
