The process has been made unnecessarily complicated. The purpose of having cut-off mark is officially stated to avoid candidates with 100 marks in chemistry and 0 mark in mathematics.<BR/><BR/>However, it is also stated that all 3 subjects carry equal weightage. Then why to worry about low marks in individual subjects? Moreover, it is unlikely that a brilliant student who received 100 in chemistry will get 0 in maths. Moreover the final list is prepared based on minimum total aggregate marks in last year's exam results.<BR/><BR/>The simple method would be to sum up the marks in all 3 subjects and prepare a ranking list based on the total marks only. Just select the number of candidates equal to the total number of seats available plus create a waiting list. <BR/><BR/>Since last year, IITs have prepared the main list with 25-30% candidates more in the merit list, in anticipation that all the students will not join IITs, because of branch availability, etc. For example, this year the merit list is prepared for 8,600 students for the total available seats of about 6,800. Thus some of the last ranked students may not get any seat at all.<BR/><BR/>The clearing of JEE is not the end of the worries. Only students under about 1,000 rank can have real choice of branch and institute. For those above 2,000 ranks, there is no guarantee of getting the needed branch in a desired institute.<BR/><BR/>Yogesh Upadhyaya<BR/>New JerseyYogesh K.
