The percentage of marks awarded by the Board will be treated as final. If the Board does not award the percentage of marks, it will be calculated based on the marks obtained in all subjects listed in the mark sheet. If any Board awards only letter grades without providing an equivalent percentage of marks on the grade sheet, the candidate should obtain a certificate from the Board specifying the equivalent marks, and submit it at the time of counselling.

If a Board normally declares the results of the qualifying examination after 30th September of each year, students of such Boards are advised to attempt JEE in the following year.
3.All admissions are subject to verification of facts from the original certificates/documents of the candidates. If an applicant is found ineligible at a later date even after admission to an Institute, his/her admission will be cancelled.

[edit] Physical Fitness
All qualified candidates will have to submit a Physical Fitness certificate from a Registered Medical Practitioner in the prescribed format that will be made available to them at an appropriate time. They will be admitted only if they are physically fit for pursuing a course of study at the participating institutes.
[edit] Special Requirements for Mining Engineering and Mining Machinery Courses
Candidates opting for these courses should make sure that they do not have any form of colour blindness. They will be required to submit a certificate from a Registered Medical Practitioner to this effect at the time of counselling. The standard of visual acuity with or without glasses will be adhered to strictly for candidates seeking admission to Mining Engineering as per DGMS Circular 14 of 1972. Persons with one-eyed vision are not permitted to work underground. Candidates with above limitations are not allowed to opt for admission to Mining Engineering or Mining Machinery Engineering.
[edit] Female Candidates for Mining Courses
Section 46 (1) of the Mines Act, 1952 states that “No woman shall, notwithstanding anything contained in any other law, be employed (a) in any part of a mine which is below ground, (b) in any mine above ground except between the hours 6 a.m. and 7 p.m.”. Female candidates are not admitted to Mining Engineering and Mining Machinery Engineering at ISMU, Dhanbad, whereas the corresponding programmes at IIT Kharagpur and IT-BHU, Varanasi, have no such restriction.
[edit] ADMIT CARD
The Admit Cards for JEE-2009 will be sent by Registered Post / Speed Post to those eligible candidates who have submitted valid Application Forms, complete in all respects, within the stipulated period. The institutes will not be responsible for any postal delay or irregularity resulting in non-delivery of the Admit Card. No duplicate Admit Card will be issued
The Admit Card will bear the name, photograph, signature, date of birth, address, language of Question Paper, and category of the candidate, along with name and address of the JEE Centre allotted. The candidate should carefully examine the Admit Card received by him/her for all the entries made therein. In case of any discrepancy, the candidate should inform the issuing institute immediately.
If the Admit Card is not received by March 20, 2009, then the candidate should obtain his/her Registration Number and Examination Centre from the institute of his/her zone through phone (Interactive Voice Response System – IVRS)/Website. On receiving these data, the candidate should write his/her Name, Application No., Registration No., and Examination Centre on two identical halves of an A4-size paper. He/she should then affix his/her photograph and sign (as done in the Application Form) on each of them. The candidate should get the photographs and the signatures attested by the Head of the institution last attended/gazetted officer/notary public, and meet the IIT Representative with this paper on April 12, 2009 in the office of the Presiding Officer at the Examination Centre. The candidate must also bring the Acknowledgement Card issued to him/her upon receipt of his/her Application Form.
Impersonation is a legally punishable offence. No applicant will normally be permitted to write the examination without a valid Admit Card. The admit card should be presented to the invigilators for verification. The candidate’s identity will be verified with respect to his/her details on the admit card/centre verification record. If the identity is in doubt, the candidate may not be allowed to appear in the examination. The authorities may at their discretion permit the candidate to appear for the examination after completing formalities including taking of thumb impression. No extra time will be allowed for these formalities to be completed.
Since the successful candidates are required to produce the Admit Card at the time of counselling and admission, it should be carefully preserved till the admission through JEE-2009 is completed.
[edit] MERIT LIST
[edit] Ranking
Only those candidates who attempt both Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be considered for the ranking. Marks in Chemistry in JEE will be equal to marks in Chemistry section of Paper 1 + marks in Chemistry section of Paper 2. Similar procedure will be followed for Mathematics and Physics. The sum of the marks obtained in the individual subjects in JEE will be the aggregate mark for the candidate.
The average of the marks scored by all such candidates will be computed for each of the three subjects. These will be the minimum qualifying mark for ranking (MQMR) in the individual subjects.
Based on the MQMR in the individual subjects as well as the aggregate marks in the Examination, a common merit list (CML) will be prepared, without any relaxed criteria, such that the number of general category (GE) candidates in this list is 1.15 times the number of available unreserved seats. The aggregate marks scored by the last candidate in the CML will be the CML cut-off score (CCS).
Next, the merit list of the OBC candidates will be prepared. If the number of OBC candidates in the CML is equal to or more than 1.4 times the number of available OBC seats, then the OBC merit list will contain all these candidates.
In case the number of OBC candidates qualified in the CML is less than 1.4 times the number of available OBC seats, then relaxation (maximum of 10%) to the individual MQMR as well as to the CCS will be applied, and an OBC merit list will be prepared, in which the number of candidates will be, at the most, 1.4 times the number of available OBC seats.
By applying 50% relaxation to the individual MQMR as well as to the CCS, separate merit lists for SC, ST and PD candidates will be prepared. The number of candidates in each of these lists will be, at the most, 1.4 times the number of available seats in the respective categories.
While preparing these merit lists, if a candidate belongs to more than one category/subcategory of relaxed norms, then he/she for the purpose of ranking shall be considered in all the categories in which he/she qualifies. There will be no separate wait-list of candidates.
[edit] Tie-Break
The tie-break criterion in the CML and in the category lists adopted for awarding ranks to the candidates who have scored the same aggregate marks is as follows.
For each subject, the mean (i.e., the average) marks will be calculated on the basis of the marks obtained by those candidates who have scored more than or equal to MQMR in that subject.
Among the candidates having the same aggregate marks, a candidate will be ranked higher than the rest, if he/she has scored higher marks in the subject having the lowest mean mark calculated as above. If there is a tie after this procedure, then the marks obtained by the tied candidates in the subject with the second-lowest mean marks will be considered, and the above procedure repeated. Candidates tied even after this procedure will be given the same rank.
