JEE Main 2025 : The National Testing Agency (NTA) released the official JEE Main 2025 exam notification on Monday, October 28. The registration process for the JEE Main 2025 Session 1 has begun on the official website – jeemain.nta.nic.in and the last date to apply is November 22, 2024. Along with the JEE Main 2025 schedule, the NTA has also released the information brochure on the official website where candidates can access all the information regarding the examination including paper pattern, eligibility criteria, and reservation policy.
The NTA has revised the tie-breaking to award the rankings to the candidates who get the same marks rule ahead of the JEE Main 2025 examination. According to the updated scheme, candidates’ ages and JEE Main 2025 application numbers will no longer be considered when assigning ranks to candidates with identical scores. Instead, rankings will be based solely on students’ performance in the exam. If candidates are evenly matched on performance, they will be awarded the same JEE Main rank
