Qualified students will compete for over 11,000 seats in 23 IITs across the country. Seat allotment for students is expected to begin on June 19.
Bonus marks brought down ranks, say top scorers Several top scorers said that the decision to award 11 bonus marks to all the students has not benefited the top scorers. ”Students who were able to solve the ‘ambiguous’ questions are, in fact, at a loss as all the students have got 11 bonus marks, thus elevating the scores of several students,” said a student from Mumbai on the condition of anonymity.
Super 30 clear JEE Adv
In a commendable feat, all the 30 students enrolled under the Super 30 coaching institute started by mathematician Anand Kumar qualified the JEE Adv. The institute mentors students from underprivileged backgrounds.
