Success or failure in IIT results ultimately depends on how students perform in their Class 12 board exams, in JEE Main (which was previously known as AIEEE and is the first stage of the JEE exam) and in JEE Advanced (the new name for IIT JEE).
IIT JEE exams are quite competitive. About 16 lakh students appeared for JEE Main 2013. Only Top 1,50,000 rank holders who were within Top 20 percentile of their respective boards in the qualifying exam were allow to sit for the JEE Advanced 2013. Merely, 14,000 got seats in undergraduate engineering programmes at the IITs.
For ranking purpose, JEE Main result gave 60% weightage to scores of the exam and 40% weightage to the normalized scores of the student in Class 12 th. Whether students make it to Top 1,50,000 or not, success in results of JEE Main 2013 opened up opportunities for engineering aspirants as they could get admission in other engineering colleges including the NITs and IIITs.
