Dated: 14th September, 2012
Dear Sir/Madam,
Subject: Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) - 2013 for Admission to Undergraduate Engineering Programmes in IITs, NITs and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions, etc.
This is in continuation of our detailed deliberations held in the meeting organized by the COBSE on 28th
June, 2012 and further discussion held with the Councils of IITs, NITs and IIITs. After extended deliberations, it has been decided to hold a Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) -  2013 for Admission to Undergraduate Engineering Programmes in IITs, NITs and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions, etc. in two parts  - JEE(Main) and JEE(Advanced).
The  members of the IITs, NITs and IIITs council were of the opinion that the importance of the schooling system needs  to be revived in larger public interest by giving due weightage to the performance of students in Class XII Board examinations and at the same time maintain the credibility and integrity of admissions to higher institutes of technical education.
The revised scheme of examination is as follow:
ÿ Name of the examination shall be Joint Entrance Examination(JEE)
ÿ JEE shall be held in two parts — JEE (Main) and JEE (Advanced).
ÿ Now, AIEEE will be known as JEE(Main) and IIT-JEE as JEE(Advanced)
ÿ All candidates shall take JEE (Main). JEE (Main) shall be gateway for JEE (Advanced)
ÿ Only the top 150,000 candidates (including all categories as per reservation policy) based on
performance in JEE (Main), will qualify to appear in the JEE (Advanced) examination. Admission to IITs
will be based only on category wise All India Rank in JEE(Advanced), subject to condition that such candidates are in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in Class XII examination conducted by 
their Boards in applicable categories.
ÿ For admission to National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs) like IIIts etc. and  participating Institutions; the merit/rank list shall be prepared based on 40 per cent  weightage to school board marks and 60 per cent weightage to JEE(Main).
The weightage to school Board marks shall be considered only after normalisation of the marks awarded by different Board.
ÿ In case any State opts to admit students in the engineering colleges affiliated to State Universities where
States require separate merit list to be provided based on the relative weightages adopted by the States,
then the merit list shall be prepared with such relative weightages as may be indicated by States.
ÿ Those students who have appeared in the Class XII Board examinations in 2012 and wish to improve
upon their performances can appear in all subjects as per Scheme of Studies again for the Board
examinations in 2013.  All Boards would make appropriate arrangements to facilitate this through a
special dispensation.
