10. Seats for Admission
All Government / Govt. Aided Engineering Colleges
100% of the sanctioned intake shall be filled by ACPC
All Unaided Engineering Colleges
75% of the sanctioned intake shall be filled by ACPC
25% seats of management quota (including 15% NRI
seats) will be filled up by institute based on the guidelines
given by ACPC.
11. Eligibity :
• Passed 12th Science exam with Physics &
Mathematics
as
compulsory
subjects
&
Chemistry/Biology/Biotechnology/Computer Science
as optional subject with 45% (40% in case of
SC/ST/SEBC) minimum marks
And
• Appeared in JEE-Main examination of corresponding
year in the same subjects of Board exam
Before last year (i.e 2012-13), GUJCET was
conducted instead of JEE(Main)
12. Merit Marks (Before last year):
• For candidate who are eligible for admission, the
merit marks are the sum of;
– 60% weightage of the marks obtained in the theory
subjects (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) in the
Board exam
and
– 40% weightage of the marks obtained in same theory
subjects (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics)the
GUJCET (Main) exam of the current year
Suppose you got 270/300 in HSC and 80/120 in GUJCET, then
% marks obtain in HSC = 100*270/300 = 90%
%marks obtain in GUJCET = 100*96/120= 80%
Merit marks = 0.6*90 + 0.4*80 = 86.0
13. Merit List (Before last year):
• Merit list was prepared by arranging the merit marks
of all students applied for the admissions in
descending order
• Three separate merit lists were prepared
– Gujarat Board candidates
– CBSE candidates
– ICSE/IB/NIOS candidates
14. Seat Distribution (Before last year):
• Based on the number of students passed out from
each board, seats were distributed in their pro-rata
basis.
Suppose number of students passed out from Gujarat Board is
65000, from CBSE board is 5000 and from ICSE Board is 500 and if
total number of seats are 60000, then,
No. of seats GB students get = (65000/70500)*60000 = 55319 (92.2%)
No. of seats CBSE students get = (5000/70500)*60000 = 4255 (7.1%)
No. of seats ICSE students get = (500/70500)*60000 = 426 (0.7%)
The seats in each institutions and courses are distributed as per the %
seat distribution of each board and then reservation policy is applied on
that.
15. Facts :
• Merit list gives relative position of students.
• Though merit list was prepared on percentage
marks, it is actually percentile score (no. of students
lower than your marks, i.e relative position of
students)
• Not enough choice of institute/course for students
who have passed HSC exam from the board having
less number of students, because seats were not
possible to allocate due to less fraction.
Committee had received many complaints/representations from
students regarding in spite of having higher marks, admission was not
offered to some courses/institutions where seats were not allocated.
16. Major changes from the last year:
• JEE-Main was introduced as entrance test for
B.E/B.Tech admission in the State based on the
policy decided at Central level.
• Admission is based on the combine weightage of
Board exam and JEE-Main exam
• Common merit list was adopted instead of three
separate merit list (i.e GB, CBSE & ICSE).
• Normalization process was adopted for preparation of
common merit list at the State level as well as at
Central level in NIT admissions
17. Why Normalization process?
• HSC exam conducted by different board
– Gujarat Board
– CBSE
– ICSE
– IB (International Board)
– NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling)
• Different Boards have
– different examination pattern
– different assessment pattern
– different result pattern
19. Why Normalization process?
• Nearly half of the
students of Gujarat
board receive less than
50% marks in PCM,
while for CBSE, the
proportion is about ¼.
• Therefore,
before
preparing the merit list
comprising of students
from
miscellaneous
boards, their marks
need to be properly
normalized.
20. Normalization process
• This is the only process to minimize the disparity of
different boards & put them on a common level
• Percentile marks are used instead of percentage
marks.
• Many organizations like UPSC, GPSC, IIIT also use
normalization process for treating their candidates
passed from different boards/universities at par.
21. Normalization process
• CBSE has derived the Normalization process for
more than 30 different boards, through consultation
of some of international agencies from
U.S., Australia as well our in-house expertise
available with
o Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi
o Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata
o Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
• Govt. of Gujarat has also adopted the Normalization
process
given
by
the
Indian
Statistical
Institute, Kolkatta
22. Merit Marks :
• For candidate who are eligible for admission, the
merit marks are the sum of;
– 60% of the normalised marks obtained in the theory
subjects (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) in the
Board exam
and
– 40% of the marks obtained in same theory subjects
(Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics)the JEE (Main)
exam of the current year
23. Normalization process
• JEE-Main exam is considered as the base for
normalization, as it is given by all students of
different boards.
• Percentiles are to be calculated for
1. PCM marks for JEE-Main of all the registered candidates
irrespective of their boards.
2. PCM Marks of the registered students of individual boards
with respect to the registered students of that board only.
• Board percentiles are to be mapped with the JEEMain percentiles and the corresponding PCM
marks, equivalent to JEE-Main are obtained.
24. Normalization Process
1. Calculate percentiles of PCM marks for all the registered
candidates of JEE-Main
2. Calculate percentiles of PCM board marks for all the
registered candidates of JEE-Main corresponding to their
respective boards
25. Normalization Process
3. Calculate normalized board marks from the percentile of
JEE-Main exam and percentile of Board exam
Where,
P = Board PCM Percentile,
B1 = Board Normalized Marks,
BL = JEE-main PCM marks corresponding to PL,
BU = JEE-main PCM marks corresponding to PU ,
PL= Largest PCM JEE-Main Percentile that is smaller than or equal to P,
PU = Smallest PCM JEE-Main Percentile that is greater than or equal to P.
4. Merit marks = 0.6*B1 + 0.4*JEE-Main PCM marks
28. Advantages
• Single Exam - JEE-Main for admission in
B.E/B.Tech program in the State as well as across
the Nation.
• Common merit list - Equal opportunity for all
students of different boards regarding choice of
institutes/courses
• Normalization process – Differences of Board
exams minimizes
29. Performance of Gujarat Students
• For JEE-Advance exam, first 1,50,000 candidates
across the country who qualified JEE-Main were
eligible.

30. Future Actions
• Govt. has constituted a committee to study the
normalization process and suggest necessary
modifications, if required.
• Some more States are also joining to JEE-Main
examinations as well as normalization process in
the admission from this year.
31. Purpose of Today’s meeting
• Govt. has constituted High Level Committee
(HLC) to study the impact on preparation of
common merit list amongst students of all boards
for B.E/B.Tech admission
• HLC suggested to take opinion from the StakeHolders like students, parents, representatives of
eminent schools, self-financed institutions etc. for
refining the normalization policy for the next year
admission process.
