papers will consist of three separate sections on Physics, Chemistry

and Mathematics. The questions will be of objective type, designed

to test comprehension, reasoning and analytical ability of candidates.

In some sections, incorrect answers will be awarded negative marks.

The answers for each of the questions are to be marked on a

separate, 2-sheet carbonless paper. Candidate must not separate

or the alignment of the upper and lower sheets at any stage

during the examination. The upper sheet is specially designed

machine readable sheet of paper (ORS-Optical Response sheet).

2

While answering each of the questions the candidate is expected to

darken the bubble(s) against correct answer(s) only on the upper

sheet using black ball point pen. The darkening on the upper sheet

should be done in such a manner that the impression is seen on the

lower sheet. Responses recorded on the upper sheet only will be

taken as final. The candidate can take away the lower sheet with the

permission of the invigilator(s) at the end of the examination.

(vi) RESULTS OF JEE (Advanced) : The answer sheets of JEE

(v) PROCEDURES FOR DETERMINING THE CUT-OFF MARKS AND RANKING : Only those candidates who attempted

both Paper - 1 and Paper - 2 of JEE (Advanced) will be considered

for the ranking. Marks in Physics in JEE (Advanced) will be equal to

marks in Physics section of Paper - 1 plus marks in Physics section

of Paper - 2. Similar procedures will be followed for Chemistry and

Mathematics. The sum of the marks obtained in the individual

subjects will be the aggregate marks for the candidate.

(vi) RANK LIST : Based on the performance in JEE (Advanced) -

2016, a Common Merit List (CML) will be prepared. Candidates

must score at least 10% in each subject and 35% in aggregate in

order to be in the CML. Separate merit lists will be prepared corresponding to OBC

(NCL), SC and ST Categories with less prescribed minimum

marks, as specified in them IIT Brochure.

3

Candidates of OBC (NCL) category must score at least 9% in

each subject and 31.5% in aggregate in order to be in the OBC

merit list.

Candidates of SC and ST categories must score at least 5% in

each subject and 17.5% in aggregate in order to be in their

respective merit lists.

(vii) PD Merit Lists : Separate PD merit lists will be prepared corresponding to the GE, OBC (NCL), SC and ST categories.

To be in these respective merit lists, candidates must score at

least 5% in each subject and 17.5% in aggregate.

(viii) Tie-break : The tie-break criterion in the various merit lists adopted for awarding ranks to the candidates who have scored

the same aggregate marks is as follows: Higher rank for higher

marks in Mathematics, followed by marks in Physics and same

rank in case both the candidates have the same marks in each of

the three subjects.

Note: Obtaining a rank in JEE (Advanced) - 2016 does not

guarantee admission to any of the courses available in IITs

and ISM Dhanbad.

and exercises. The theory notes are elaborate with topics fully explained

and with a number of illustrations and Practice Tests. Each lesson is

followed by an exercise in the form of objective questions.

The student should study the theory well, systematically work out the

exercises and should then compare his working with the fully worked-

out solutions which will be provided in the subsequent set. Working sheets of exercises should NOT be sent to us.

YOUR ACE OF TRUMPS

No preparation for JEE can be considered complete without

Brilliant’s legendary Y.G. File.

THE OBJECTIVE

The preparation for the JEE involves intensive training in answering

objective type questions, combining speed and accuracy.

Whatever be the degree of preparation of the student, there is always an

element of surprise in the actual JEE Question Paper. This element of

surprise will stimulate, but not demoralise, if the student has had

sufficient experience in tackling problems of the JEE standard. It is

precisely this experience that our Y.G. File aims to provide.

The Y.G. File does not contain any theory, but it has hundreds of

problems of the brain teasing type.

The Compendium

Chemistry and Physics.

YG File Part 1 will be despatched in Sep/Oct 2015 and Part 2 in Dec

2015/Jan 2016.

12

The objective questions will be presented topic-wise, so that the student

can attempt the problems in any topic as and when he/she feels

comfortable with his/her level of preparedness in that particular topic.

Questions and problems that cover more than a single topic will be

given together, at the end of each subject.

In Y.G. File, Part I, there will be a total of 750 Objective (250 Questions

in each of the three subjects – Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics).

Y.G. File Part II will have another 750 Problems on a similar pattern.

The solutions to all the objective questions will be sent with the

respective questions and problems.
