The machine gradable optical response sheets (ORS) are graded and scrutinized with extreme care. There is no provision for regrading and retotalling. No photocopies of the machine- gradable sheets will be made available. No correspondence in this regard will be entertained. Performance cards will not be sent to the candidates. However, they can view their marks from the IIT websites from August 01 to August 31, 2008.
Qualified candidates will be informed by post of their All India Ranks (AIR), and will be called for identity verification in order of their AIR. A candidate can also obtain this information on the website, 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-2008. Individual zones will fix their counselling schedule. They will display the counselling schedule on their websites and also inform the qualified candidates by speed post/registered post. In case a qualified candidate does not receive the counselling letter, he/she must still appear for identity verification on any one of the dates specified on the back cover of this brochure, at the institute from where he/she had received the admit card.
The main purpose of asking the qualified candidates to appear in person for the counselling is to verify their identity. Hence the candidates must bring their admit cards, and various documents for verifying their 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. The counselling brochure will help the candidates to exercise this option judiciously. Some IIT faculty may also be available for consultation. However, the faculty at any one IIT may not have information about all the courses offered by all the institutes, and can only provide whatever information is available with them.
After the qualified candidates have exercised their choices as per the counselling schedule (see back cover of this brochure), seat allocation will be done centrally, on a later date on the basis of the AIR-cum-choices exercised by the candidates. There is no provision for instant seat allocation at the time when the candidates submit their choice-sheets.
To take care of possible absentees, the number of qualified candidates is kept more than the number of seats available in the IITs, IT-BHU, Varanasi, and ISMU, Dhanbad. The fact that an applicant has qualified in JEE-2008 and has been called for identity verification and counselling, does not guarantee his/her admission. This will depend upon the applicant’s All India Rank, his/her choice of courses/institutes, and the number of seats available.
A counselling brochure detailing various branches of study will be mailed along with the counselling letter, and will also be made available on the website.
Counselling dates for all categories of candidates including those who will qualify for Preparatory Course are provided at the back cover of this brochure.
Ranking
Only those candidates who attempt both Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be considered for the ranking. Marks 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 the 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 the 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, then he/she for the purpose of ranking shall be considered in all the categories in which he/she qualifies. There will be no separate list of wait-listed candidates.
Tie-Break
The tie-break criterion adopted for awarding ranks to the candidates who have scored the same aggregate marks is as follows.
For each subject, the mean (i.e., the average) marks will be calculated on the basis of the marks obtained by those candidates who have appeared in both the papers. Among the candidates having the same total marks, a candidate will be ranked higher than the rest, if he/she has scored higher marks in the subject having the lowest mean marks. If there is a tie after this procedure, then the marks obtained by the tied candidates in the subject with the second-lowest mean marks will be considered, and the above procedure repeated. Candidates tied even after this procedure will be given the same rank.
The Admit Cards for the examination will be sent by Registered Post/Speed Post only to those eligible candidates who have submitted valid Application Forms, complete in all respects, on or before 17:00 hours on January 4, 2008. The institutes will not be responsible for any postal delay or irregularity resulting in non-delivery of the Admit Card. No duplicate Admit Card will be issued.
The Admit Card will bear the name, photograph, signature, date of birth, address, language of Question Paper, and category of the candidate, along with name and address of the JEE Centre allotted. The candidate should carefully examine the Admit Card received by him/her for all the entries made therein. In case of any discrepancy, the candidate should inform the issuing institute immediately.
If the Admit Card is not received by March 21, 2008, the candidate should obtain his/her Registration Number and Examination Centre from the institute of his/her zone through phone (Interactive Voice Response System – IVRS)/Website (Appendix-III). On receiving these data, the candidate should write his/her Name, Application No., Registration No., and Examination Centre on two identical halves of an A4-size paper. He/she should then affix his/her photograph and sign (as done in the Application Form) on each of them. The candidate should get the photographs and the signatures attested by the Head of the institution last attended/gazetted officer/notary public, and meet the IIT Representative with this paper on April 13, 2008 in the office of the Presiding Officer at the Examination Centre. The candidate must bring the Acknowledgement Card issued to him/her upon receipt of his/her Application Form.
Impersonation is a legally punishable offence. No applicant will normally be permitted to write the examination without a valid Admit Card. The admit card should be presented to the invigilators for verification. The candidate’s identity will be verified with respect to his/her details on the admit card/centre verification record. If the identity is in doubt, the candidate may not be allowed to appear in the examination. The authorities may at their discretion permit the candidate to appear for the examination after completing formalities including taking of thumb impression. No extra time will be allowed for these formalities to be completed.
Since the successful candidates are required to produce the Admit Card at the time of counselling and admission, it should be carefully preserved till the admission through JEE-2008 is completed.
A candidate has to satisfy all the eligibility conditions given below:
A candidate can attempt JEE only twice, in consecutive years.
Candidates appearing for JEE-2008 should have either passed in 2007 or should be appearing in 2008 in the qualifying examination listed in section 7.1 and should satisfy the eligibility criteria listed in section 7.2.
Candidates should meet the age requirements given in section 7.4.
Candidates should not have accepted admission by paying full fees at any of the IITs, IT-BHU, Varanasi and ISMU, Dhanbad, through earlier JEE.
Qualifying Examination
Candidates applying for JEE-2008 should have either completed or should be appearing in 2008 in any one of the following qualifying examinations.

Eligibility Criteria in Qualifying Examination
Candidates belonging to the GE and DS categories must secure 60% or more marks in aggregate in their Qualifying Examination. Candidates belonging to the SC, ST, and PD categories must secure 55% or more marks in aggregate in the Qualifying Examination. The percentage of marks awarded by the Board will be treated as final. If the Board does not award the percentage of marks, it will be calculated based on the marks obtained in all subjects listed in the mark sheet. If any Board awards only letter grades without providing an equivalent percentage of marks on the grade sheet, the candidate should obtain a certificate from the Board specifying the equivalent marks, and submit it at the time of counselling. In case such a certificate is not provided by the candidate, then the decision of the Joint Implementation Committee (JIC) regarding his/her eligibility shall be final.
Important Notes
(i) Those candidates who will be appearing in the qualifying examination in 2009 or later are not eligible to apply for JEE-2008.
(ii) All provisional admissions to candidates who are appearing in the qualifying examination in the year 2008 will stand cancelled, if the proof of having passed the Qualifying Examination, as per the eligibility criteria specified in section 7.2, is not submitted to the concerned Institute latest by September 30, 2008.
If a Board normally declares the results of the qualifying examination after 30th September of each year, students of such Boards are advised to attempt JEE in the following year.
(iii) All admissions are subject to verification of facts from the original certificates/documents of the candidates. If an 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 (JAB) regarding the eligibility of any applicant shall be final.
(iv) For more clarification in respect of number of attempts and year of passing the qualifying examinations, please refer to FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) available on JEE websites.
Date of Birth
Only those candidates, whose date of birth falls on or after October 01, 1983, are eligible to appear in JEE-2008. However, in the case of SC, ST, and PD candidates, the upper age limit is relaxed by 5 years, i.e., SC, ST, and PD candidates, who were born on or after October 01, 1978, are eligible. Date of birth as recorded in the High School/first Board/Pre-University Certificate will be taken as authentic. If the high school certificate does not mention the date of birth, provide a suitable document indicating the date of birth along with the application. Candidates must produce this certificate in original as a proof of their age at the time of counselling, failing which they will be disqualified.
Physical Fitness
All qualified candidates will have to submit a Physical Fitness certificate from a Registered Medical Practitioner in the prescribed format that will be made available to them at an appropriate time. They will be admitted only if they are physically fit for pursuing a course of study at the participating institutes.

Female candidates are not admitted to Mining Engineering and Mining Machinery Engineering at ISMU, Dhanbad, whereas the corresponding programs at IIT Kharagpur and IT-BHU, Varanasi, have no such restriction.
Two seats are available for preferential allotment of courses in each institute for children of defence/paramilitary personnel killed or permanently disabled in action during war or peace-time operations (DS category). Candidates belonging to DS category should submit a copy of the relevant certificate issued by a competent authority in the Directorate of Resettlement and Rehabilitation, New Delhi (under the Ministry of Defence, Govt. of India) or in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt. of India, as applicable, along with the application. To avail this preferential allotment, candidates must qualify in the General (GE) Category and should produce the original certificate at the time of counselling.
SC/ST Candidates
For candidates belonging to the SC and ST categories, respectively 15% and 7.5% seats are reserved in each program. Candidates belonging to these categories are admitted on the basis of a relaxed criteria (compared to the general (GE) 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 the 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 programs in July 2009 against the unfilled reserved seats for JEE-2008. SC and ST candidates will be required to produce the original caste/tribe certificate issued by a competent authority in the prescribed format (given in Appendix–II). These documents must be produced at the time of counselling, failing which they will not be considered for admission. Seats remaining vacant in these categories shall not be filled by candidates belonging to any other category.
Persons with Disability (PD)
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/or 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 IIT Delhi on June 17, 2008. Candidates, who are not certified by the Medical Board as belonging to the PD category, will not be counselled under this category. The decision of the Medical Board shall be final.
Note: Reservation for OBC candidates, if any, would be communicated as and when the Government order for the same is issued.
The present fee structure (in Indian rupees) of different institutes is given in the tables below as a guideline, however, the exact fee structure would be provided at the time of counselling. The tuition fee per semester for foreign students is USD 2000 (non-SAARC countries)/USD 1000 (SAARC countries). Students who have PIO (Person of Indian Origin) and OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) status would be treated at par with Indian students so far as fee structure is concerned.
