Impact of New Tie-Breaking Rules on JEE 2025 Aspirants: What You Need to Know
The NTA has introduced new tie-breaking rules for the JEE Main 2025 exam, and these changes have been shared on the official website. Students studying for examination are often concerned about how the new tie-breaking regulations will impact them. When two or more candidates receive equal scores. The revised criteria aim to increase the ranking system's fairness and transparency.
The tie-breaking rules come into existence when candidates achieve equal scores in the JEE Main exam. To resolve this problem the authority uses a pre-set method to decide rankings. The JEE Main 2025 exam will be conducted in two sessions
- Session 1 from January 22 to 31, 2025
- Session 2 from April 1 to 8, 2025
Key Impacts of the New Tie-Breaking Rules on JEE 2025 Aspirants
Here are the key details of new tie-breaking rules on JEE 2025:
- Mathematics plays a crucial role in the tie-breaking process. Since it is often considered the foundation of engineering and a challenging subject, candidates should focus heavily on improving their math skills. A higher score in Mathematics will be the first deciding factor when ties occur.
- Physics and chemistry are important as they are game changers even though mathematics is dominant. To increase potential candidates should prepare for all three subjects equally. Since every subject is used in the ranking process ignoring any of them could be dangerous.
- Accuracy matters more than ever. The tie-breaking process also considers the ratio of correct to incorrect answers. Students who answer more questions correctly while minimizing mistakes will be ranked higher. This approach emphasizes the need for both precision and strong problem-solving skills.
- Order of Evaluation
The evaluation follows a specific sequence:
- First, Mathematics scores are compared.
- If a tie remains, Physics scores are reviewed.
- Finally, Chemistry scores are checked if needed.
Maintaining a solid performance in all subjects is essential to avoid being placed lower in rank
Updates in the JEE Main 2025 tie-breaking policy
Here are the changes that have been done under the tie-breaking policy:
| Changes in papers |
Details |
| Changes in the Paper 1 |
- The candidate with the higher score in Mathematics is given a preference
- If the tie is not solved, the candidate with the higher score in Physics is considered.
- If the tie remains, the candidate with the higher score in Chemistry will be given preference
- Candidates with a lower ratio of attempted incorrect answers to correct answers across all subjects in the test are given preference
- If the tie continues, the candidate with a lower ratio of incorrect to correct answers in Mathematics is preferred
- If the tie remains unresolved even after these criteria the candidates will be assigned the same rank.
|
| Changes in the Paper 2A(B.Arch) |
- The candidate with the higher score in Mathematics is given priority.
- If the tie remains, the candidate with the higher score in the Aptitude Test is considered.
- If still tied, the candidate with the higher score in the Drawing Test is preferred.
- Candidates with a smaller ratio of incorrect answers to correct answers across all subjects are prioritized.
- If the tie continues, the candidate with a smaller ratio of incorrect to correct answers in Mathematics (Part-I) is given preference.
- If the tie remains unresolved even after applying these rules then candidates will be given same rank
|
| Changes in the Paper 2B(B.Planning) |
- Candidates with a higher score in Mathematics are ranked higher.
- If there is still a tie, candidates with a higher score in the Aptitude Test are given preference.
- If the tie continues, candidates with a higher score in Planning-Based Questions are prioritized.
- Candidates with a lower ratio of incorrect to correct answers across all subjects are preferred.
- If still tied, candidates with a lower ratio of incorrect to correct answers in Mathematics are considered.
- If the tie persists, candidates with a lower ratio of incorrect to correct answers in the Aptitude Test are prioritized.
- If the tie remains, candidates with a lower ratio of incorrect to correct answers in Planning-Based Questions are preferred.
- If the tie is not resolved after all these criteria, candidates will be assigned the same rank
