How the aggregate marks calculated
The calculation of aggregate marks in the IIT-JEE Advanced 2023 rank list involves summing up the scores obtained in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. To be included in the rank list, candidates must meet both the subject-wise and aggregate qualifying marks requirements, as explained by a senior official from IIT Guwahati.
This year, there is a lower percentage of negative marking, and the presence of more questions without penalties has boosted students’ confidence in attempting the exam. Consequently, there has been a higher cutoff for admission, as elaborated by the official.
Out of the total 1,80,372 candidates who appeared in both papers of the IIT-JEE Advanced 2023, 43,773 have qualified. Among them, 36,204 are male students, while 7,509 are female students. It is important to note that qualifying JEE-Main is a prerequisite for appearing in JEE-Advanced, which serves as the admission test for engineering colleges nationwide.
