JEE main cut off 2014 of all categories:

CML-115
OBC-NCL - 74
SC-53
ST-47

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) brought out the merit list for the JEE Main. Those who scored 115 out of the full marks of 360 have made it to the list of candidates eligible to take the JEE Advanced on May 25.
Clearing that test will pave the way for admission to the 16 IITs and the Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad.
CBSE chairperson Vineet Joshi said the results were announced after examining candidate feedback on the questions and answer keys.
The board had put out the answer keys on Monday. Hundreds of students have complained alleging mistakes in the questions or answer keys.
“All the questions and answers have been verified. We will again put the final answer keys on our website,” Joshi said.
The CBSE will bring out another merit list by combining the JEE Main and the board results of the candidates. Those who find a place on that list will be eligible for admission to the National Institutes of Technology and the Indian Institutes of Information Technology.
The IITs do not admit candidates on the basis of the JEE Main alone. They consider the JEE Main as the first filter to identify candidates for the JEE Advanced.
The candidates selected through the JEE Main have to register next week for the May 25 JEE Advanced. The results will be declared on June 19.
The Union human resource development ministry plans to ask the IITs to drop the JEE Advanced from 2015 and admit students through the JEE Main alone. But IIT teachers may oppose any such move.
Nearly 13 lakh candidates took the JEE Main last month. The paper had 90 questions carrying a total of 360 marks. For each wrong answer, a candidate gets one negative mark.
The CBSE released the answer keys on April 28 and asked candidates to submit their feedback within a day. Only candidates can challenge the answers, that too for a fee of Rs 1,000. The high fee has annoyed many students.
Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Odisha will admit students to their engineering colleges, both private and government-run, on the basis of the JEE Main results. Gujarat, Haryana and Uttarakhand adopted the JEE Main last year. Bengal is likely to adopt it from 2015-16.
This means there will be no state-level JEE in these states. Candidates seeking admission to the 285 engineering colleges in Madhya Pradesh, 729 in Maharashtra, 199 in Odisha and about 300 colleges in Gujarat, Haryana and Uttarakhand would take the JEE Main. The CBSE will publish a national merit list and state-specific merit lists.
Till recently, states conducted their own JEEs for admission to government and private engineering colleges. But the Centre wants all the states to adopt the JEE Main.

Kota Topper Story: Shitikanth IIT JEE 2008 Topper

Image
I gave JEE in 2009 and used to hear about this "topper" guy from the 2nd floor of my hostel. Topper of A1. I didn't pay too much attention. Then one day after my dinner my friends asked me if I noticed who was sitting next to me during the meal. I said no. They said it was the same guy. I didn't care much there either. I saw him for the first time in a cricket field. The lean stick-figure boy who didn't speak much. He had a ball in his hand and a single electric pole was being used as the wicket. I was fielding. I saw him bowl and all my senses absorbed after that was the clattering sound of the ball on the pole. That's when I was introduced Sitikanth. And the stories began! Once during class, V K Bansal (THE BANSAL of Bansal Classes) told us a story of when 2 weeks before JEE Sitikanth came to him, dejected and confused. Saying he had nothing to do. Bansal Sir gave him the toughest integration problems he had, thinking this should be enough to keep him a...

IIT PAPER LEAK IN 1997

Image
A private coaching institute in Lucknow secretly called a select group of its students on the evening of May 2, barely 12 hours before the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for admission into the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), for `valuable suggestions'. Nearly 100 students out of the total 700 reached and were told that the tips should be learnt by rote. The next day, much to the excitement of the students, 70 per cent of the physics and chemistry questions appeared in the examination papers. The father of an examinee told IIT authorities in New Delhi over the telephone about the leak but he was rebuffed. ``Such doubts are normal and are expressed every year by parents whose wards have not done well in their examinations,'' said an IIT official. The same procedure was adopted for the mathematics paper the next day and this time too the coaching institute was bang on target. Most of the questions figured in the actual paper, some with minor change ...

How much You can get by Selling your IIT JEE RANK ??

Shubham Tulsiani says This is quite a common practice among institutes so I would like to address the trends too apart from the personal experiences and I'll also write on one aspect the question didn't explicitly ask  - offers  before  JEE Pre-JEE (class 12th) I had a couple of 'offers' - Some people from Akash Institute came over to my place to 'gift' me books to help me prepare for JEE. All I had to do was - guess what - yes, sign a form ! I was amazed at how insistent they were and despite me saying I didnt need the books and wouldn't sign,  they made me keep the books. They then visited / called me about 5 more times to get my signature (until I finally returned the unused books on their last visit and told my hostel guard to not allow them back). I later learnt that they had been giving these 'gifts' to some of my (well performing) batchmates in Bansal Classes too and unfortunately a lot of them had signed up too. I was also on...
