Only those candidates who attempt both Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be considered for ranking. Marks obtained in Physics will be equal to marks in Physics section of Paper 1 + Marks in Physics section of Paper 2. Similar procedure will be followed for Chemistry and Mathematics. Based on the cut-off marks in the individual subjects as well as aggregate marks in the Examination, a common merit list will be prepared without any relaxed criteria. In addition, separate merit lists of candidates belonging to SC, ST, and PD categories will be prepared with different relaxed norms relevant to their categories. While preparing these merit lists, if a candidate belongs to more than one category of relaxed norms, he/she shall be considered only in the category in which he/she gets the maximum benefit. There will be no separate list of wait-listed candidates.

The tie-break criterion adopted for awarding ranks to the candidates who have scored same aggregate marks. For each subject, the mean mark will be calculated on the basis of marks obtained by those candidates who have appeared in both the papers. A candidate will be ranked higher, if he/she has scored higher marks in the subject having the lowest mean marks. If two or more candidates score the same marks in the above mentioned subject, then the marks of the subject with second-lowest mean marks will be used for breaking the tie. If two or more candidates score the same marks in the above-mentioned subjects, then the marks of the subject with third-lowest mean marks will be used for breaking the tie. Candidates scoring the same marks in all three subjects will be given the same rank.

All admissions are subject to verification of facts from the original certificates/documents of the candidates. Candidates who have qualified will be informed of their All India Ranks (AIR) by post and will be called for identity verification in order of their AIR. A candidate can also obtain this information on the website, Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) or by calling the JEE office from where he/she received the admit card, one day after the declaration of the results of JEE. The main purpose of asking candidates to appear in person is to verify their identity. Hence the candidates must bring their admit cards, and various documents for verifying identity, age, mark sheet of qualifying examination, and category, all in original with two photocopies of each. On failing to establish the authenticity of any of the above documents, the candidate will not be considered for admission. The candidates must also bring a physical fitness certificate from a Registered Medical Practitioner in a format that will be made available to him/her at an appropriate time. 

After checking their identity and documents, the candidates will be asked to submit their choice sheets of courses and institutes.

After the qualified candidates have exercised their choice as per counselling schedule, seat allocation will be done centrally, on a later date on the basis of AIR-cum-choices exercised by the candidates. There is no provision for instant seat allocation at the time when candidates submit their choice-sheets. If the applicant is found ineligible at a later date even after admission to an institute, his/her admission will be cancelled. The decision of the Joint Admission Board regarding the eligibility of any applicant shall be final. 

Candidates opting for these courses should make sure that they are free from 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.

The seats of Regional Engineering Colleges reserved for Tripura will be filled up from the merit lists of JEE. The reservation of seats for SC/ST candidates and eligibility conditions for admission to Regional Engineering College will be as per the rules of Board. 

Candidates belonging to SC/ST categories are admitted on the basis of relaxed criteria (compared to GE/DS category candidates). In case all the reserved seats are not filled, a limited number of candidates are admitted to a Preparatory Course of one-year duration on the basis of a further relaxation of qualifying criteria. This  course attempts to prepare the students in Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry. On successful completion of the course, the students will be offered direct admission to the undergraduate programmes in next year against the unfilled reserved seats. SC and ST candidates will be required to produce the original caste/tribe certificate issued by a competent authority in the prescribed format. These documents must be produced at the time of counselling, failingwhich they will not be considered for admission. Seats remaining vacant in these categories shall not be filled by candidates belonging to any other category.

For PD (including leprosy-cured) candidates, who are otherwise fit to pursue the course and qualify JEE with relaxed norms relevant to this category, 3% seats are reserved as specified by the Government of India. For any category of disability (viz., locomotor, visual, speech and hearing), benefit would be given to those candidates who have at least 40% permanent physical impairment in relation to a body part / system / extremity / extremities / whole body, etc. The candidates in this category will be required to be certified by a Medical Board. The Medical Board will decide the following:

• Whether the candidate qualifies for the benefits under this category, and
• If the disability is likely to interfere in his/her studies.

The Medical Board duly constituted for this purpose shall meet at the time of counselling at NT Bombay.  Candidates, who are not certified by the Medical Board as PD, will not be counselled under this category. The decision of the Medical Board shall be final.
