The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for admission to the
undergraduate programmes in engineering would be conducted in two parts.
JEE-MAIN and JEE-ADVANCED. The JEE-Advanced examination will be held
after JEE-Main with a suitable time gap. Only the top 150,000
candidates (including all categories) in JEE-Main will be qualified to
appear in the JEE-Advanced examination. Admissions to IITs will be
based only on category-wise All India Rank (AIR) in JEE-Advanced,
subject to the condition that such candidates are in the top 20
percentile of successful candidates in the respective Boards in
applicable categories. As one time exception, in respect of those
students who passed their Board exams in 2012, the eligibility criteria
for joining IITs would be 60% marks in XII Board examination (55% for
SC/ST/PD).
Marks to be secured by a candidate to fall within the top 20 percentile
will vary from one Board to another and from one year to another year.
The exact cut off of top 20 percentile marks in a Board marks will be
known only after the Board results are declared, depending upon the
marking pattern of any Board.
No two Boards are being equated, instead a candidate would be tested
against his peers who have appeared in the same Board examination and
whose performance has been evaluated in the same manner as them. The use
of percentile ranking assumes that the quality of students is uniformly
distributed across the Boards.

I thought it was going to be some boring old post, but it really compensated for my time. I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful.
