How are the marks for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for admission to engineering colleges in India calculated?

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for admission to engineering colleges in India is conducted in two stages: JEE Main and JEE Advanced. For JEE Main the marks are calculated by normalizing the raw scores obtained by the candidates in all the sessions (if there are multiple sessions conducted). The normalization process takes into account the variation in the difficulty level of the question papers across different sessions. The normalized marks are used to calculate the All India Rank (AIR) of the candidates. The formula for normalization is as follows: 100 * (Number of candidates appeared in the session with a raw score equal to or less than the candidate) / Total number of candidates appeared in all sessions For JEE Advanced. The marks are calculated based on the performance of the candidates in the two compulsory papers. The marks obtained by the candidates in both papers are added to calculate the aggregate marks. The All India Rank (AIR) of the candidates is determined based on their aggregate marks. It is important to note that the JEE Main score is used for admission to National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs), while the JEE Advanced score is used for admission to Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and some other top engineering colleges in India.
