4. NORMALIZATION OF QUESTION PAPER

TS EAMCET-2021 is being conducted in multiple sessions based on the same syllabus, same pattern for
candidates having same eligibility criteria. A candidate will be eligible to appear only in one session. Since the
question paper is different for each session, there is a possibility that the candidates may compare themselves
about the variation in the difficulty levels of question paper of the same subject. However, it may be noted that
utmost care will be taken so that all the subjects are of the same standard. Further, it is decided to adopt a
normalization process to eliminate any such variations in the difficulty levels of various sessions.

The main aim of the Normalization is to ensure that no student gets advantage/disadvantage due to multiple
sessions. The normalization process brings all the candidates across all sessions on a comparative scale. Due to
this process, the marks of the easy session may be reduced marginally and marks of hard session may increase
marginally on the global scale. This depends exactly on the average performance in each session. Since care is
taken to prepare papers of equal difficulty, these changes are expected to be very marginal. Normalized marks
justify the candidates while respecting their actual performance. Hence, the following normalization procedure
is adopted which is being followed by other competitive Examinations in India to avoid
advantage/disadvantage to candidates in a particular session compared to the other sessions.

Normalized marks of the candidate

Where,
SASD: Sum of Average (A) and Standard Deviation (SD) of the subject of a session in which the candidate
appeared.
GASD: Sum of Average (A) and Standard Deviation (SD) of all the candidates across all sessions of the
subject put together.
STA: Average mark of the top 0.1% of the candidates in the subject of a session in which the candidate
appeared.
GTA: Average mark of the top 0.1% of all the candidates across all the sessions of the subject put together.

Note: For the candidates for whom there is no qualifying cut-off in TS EAMCET-2021, if the marks in TS EAMCET-2021 after normalization go below zero (negative), the mark is treated as zero. If the tie persists, then TS EAMCET-2021 normalization marks (though negative) are considered for resolving the tie.

5. Criteria for Ranking: The candidates who have secured qualifying marks (Normalized marks) in
   TS EAMCET-2021 and candidates belonging to the category of Scheduled Caste and Schedule Tribe, for
   whom qualifying marks have not been prescribed, shall be assigned ranking in the order of merit on the basis
   of combined score obtained by giving 75% weightage to the Normalized marks secured in TS EAMCET-2021
   and 25% weightage to the marks secured in the relevant group subjects namely Mathematics or Biology,
   Physics, Chemistry of the qualifying examination

6. Submission of the Online Application form for Engineering (E) and Agriculture and Medical (AM)
   streams: Candidates with Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry / Bio-Tech. / Biology as optional subjects in their
   Intermediate or its equivalent course should submit “E” stream online application for Engineering B.E./

• This will reduce the chances of dropping a year and droppers would not have to waste a full year.
• If anyone missed the examination due to reasons beyond control (such as Board examination), then he/she will not have to wait for one full year.
• A candidate need not appear in all the four Sessions. However, if candidate appears in more than one Session then his/her best of the 2021 NTA Scores will be considered for preparation of Merit List/ Ranking.

1. The Paper 1 of JEE (Main) 2021 will be held in February 2021 followed by next three Sessions in March, April, and May 2021. This is being done to ensure that the JEE (Main) 2021 does not interfere with the Board examinations, which may be held at different times across the States/UTs. Paper 2A & Paper 2B (B. Arch & B. Planning) will be held only twice a year (February & May 2021)
2. The NTA has decided to provide choices in one section to cater to the decision of different Boards across the country regarding the reduction of syllabus. However, the total number of questions to be attempted will remain the same (Physics – 25, Chemistry – 25 and Mathematics – 25), wherever applicable.

Mode of Examination

JEE (Main)-2021 will be conducted in the following modes:

• Paper 1 (B.E. /B. Tech.) in “Computer Based Test (CBT)” mode only.
• Paper 2A (B. Arch): Mathematics (Part-I) and Aptitude Test (Part-II) in “Computer Based Test (CBT)” mode only and Drawing Test (Part-III) in pen & paper (offline) mode, to be attempted on drawing sheet of A4 size.
