## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (DR. SATYA PAL SINGH)

(a) to (c): The pattern and marking remains the same in the new system of Joint Entrance Examination (Main). However, since the new system involves two attempts  in  a  single  year  and  candidates  are  appearing  in  different  shifts,  the ranking  in  the  new  system  is  based  on  the  better  of  the  two  attempts  and percentile score. Some of the benefits of the new system are:-

- (i) one  more  opportunity  to  the  students  to  improve  their  scores  in examination,  if  they  fail  to  give  their  best  in  first  attempt  without wasting their whole academic year.
- (ii) opportunity  to  a  student  to  get  first-hand  experience  of  taking  an examination  and  to  know  their  mistakes  which  he  can  improve while attempting for the second time.
- (iii) the  new  system  will  reduce  chances  of  dropping  a  year  for  a student who could not score better in the first attempt.

(d): The  Expert  Committee,  which  consisted  of  academicians  from  Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), All India Institute  of  Medical  Science  (AIIMS),  Medical  Council  of  India  (MCI),  Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), had recommended adoption  of  above  procedure  based  on  percentile  score  for  the  ranking  of candidates of JEE (Main) in 2019.
