JEE Main 2025: Paper 2 tie-breaking rule

Candidates can check the JEE Main 2025 paper 2 tie-breaking rule given below.

  • Aptitude Test Marks: Candidates who achieve higher marks in the Aptitude Test are assigned a higher rank, making it the primary factor for ranking.
  • Drawing Test Marks: If a tie remains after evaluating Aptitude Test marks, the candidate with better marks in the Drawing Test is given a higher rank. This acts as the secondary criterion for differentiation.
  • Age Preference: If the tie persists, the older candidate is given priority and assigned a higher rank. This age-based criterion serves as the final factor in resolving ties and determining rankings.
