JEE Mains 2024: Date, Tie-Breaker Rules, Result Details, And More

The JEE Mains Merit List for 2024 is set to be released soon. Candidates can access the required details via the official website of the exam conducting authority. The National Testing Agency (NTA) is responsible for conducting the JEE Mains examination.

The JEE Main exam will be divided into two parts, with nearly 12 lakh candidates registered for the first session. The first session of the JEE Main exam was held between January 24 to February 01, 2023. The results for the JEE Main are anticipated to be announced in February this year.

When two candidates have the same marks, the final result is determined using the tie-breaker rule. There are specific rules for candidates with identical scores in the JEE Main result. These rules form the basis for preparing the final results, ensuring a fair resolution for candidates with the same marks.

Under the tie-breaker rule, candidates receive marks based on various criteria. The candidate who ranks higher according to the specified rules is given priority in the JEE Main result. This situation generally happens between the top one or two performers.

Significant details regarding the exam, including the JEE Main tie-breaker rule, have been provided on the official website jeemain.nta.ac.in. For those preparing to take the JEE Main exam this year, it is essential to familiarize themselves with all the tie-breaker rules before the result is declared to avoid complications later on.
