JEE Main 2015 cutoffs, rank predictor

JEE Main 2015 cutoffs, rank predictor

The JEE Main 2015 offline Paper I was held
on 4th April, 2015. Nearly 11 lakh candidates appeared for this paper (out of
the 13 lakh applicants who registered for JEE Main 2015). Now, you must be
wondering about the likely cutoff score in JEE Main 2015 for being eligible to
appear in the JEE Advanced 2015 exam. In this article, let us discuss the
cutoff score in JEE Main 2015 and let us look at the rank prediction for JEE
Main 2015.

JEE
Main 2015 cutoffs:

We at PaGaLGuY spoke to a lot of students
to understand their experience and also analysed the paper ourselves. Based on
this analysis, we have come out with a precise estimate of the cutoff in JEE
Main 2015.  As per our analysis of JEE
Main 2015, the cutoff score for eligibility to appear in JEE Advanced 2015
should be around 118-120 for General category candidates, 75-77 for OBC, 55-57
for SC and 50 to 53 for ST category candidates. Do note that this is our
estimate of the cutoff. The actual cutoffs may vary from the predicted cutoffs
by +/- 5 marks.

JEE
Main 2015 Rank Predictor:

Based on our analysis of students’ expected
scores, we have also created a list of scores that a student needs to get in
order to have a good chance of getting a high All India Rank in JEE Main 2015.
This list is presented here:

Score in JEE Main 2015               Likely Rank in JEE Main 2015

            320 +                                               in
top 100

            300 – 320                                         101
– 200

            290 – 300                                         201
– 500

            270 – 290                                         501
– 1000

            250 – 270                                         1001
– 2000

             230 – 250                                        2001
– 5000

             210 – 230                                         5001
– 10000

             190 – 210                                         10001
– 20000

             170 – 190                                         20001
– 35000

             140 – 170                                          35001
– 50000

             120 – 140                                          50001
– 75000

          less than 120                                            > 75000

Do note that this list assumes that a
student’s performance in his board exams is proportional to his performance in
the JEE Main exam. Since a student’s All India Rank is dependent on his
performance in the board exams as well, hence, better performance in the board
exams would push up the student’s All India Rank and vice versa.

The All India Rank of each student is
calculated on the basis of the student’s performance in the JEE Main and his
performance in his board exams. In order to calculate a student’s rank, first
of all, his composite score is calculated using the formula:

C = 0.6 * JEE Main score + 0.4 * Normalized
board performance, where C is the composite score.

Each student’s rank is then calculated on
the basis of this composite score.

Now that you know the expected cutoffs and
your expected ranks, you can plan and prepare better for the future.
