'Publish exact marks, method of calculation', requests aspirants for NTA through JEE Mains 2024 result differences

although JEE Main Results 2024 have been declared for Session 1, aspirants who have appeared for the competitive exam will not find any relief. The results of the January session of the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Main 2024 have sparked widespread outrage among aspirants who claim that there are inaccuracies in the score and percentile calculation by the National Testing Agency (NTA). Read this article to know why students are not satisfied with JEE Main Session 1 results.

JEE Mains 2024 Result Differences – What Actually Happened?

JEE Main 2024 February 12, 2024: The National Testing Agency (NTA) would announce the JEE Main 2024 result for the Session 1 exam on February 12, 2024. However, the results were not announced on that day.

February 13, 2024: The JEE Main 2024 results for Paper 1 (BE/B.Tech.) were declared on February 13. Candidates were allowed NTA JEE Scores by visiting the official website at jeemain.nta.ac.in. The turnout across the country was 95.8% for Paper 1 (BE/B.Tech.). The result for Paper 2(B.Arch./B.Planning) will also be announced soon. Meanwhile, a total of 23 candidates secured an NTA score of 100 in Session 1 in Paper 1 (BE/B.Tech.). But soon after the results were announced, the student and other subject experts claimed on X(Twitter) that there was a huge difference in marks between sessions for the same percentile. About X, an aspirant wrote, “JEE Main 2024 result seems wrong. Check this for students from January 27th. Even with 140 points I don't get 90%. Please explain. It is a matter of future and life.”

Pradeep Rawat, a social activist, wrote a post on of Jee aspirants are active in the line.”

Students started using hashtags such as '#JusticeForJEEMains2024Aspirants, #NTAHelpJEEStudents2024 #jeemains2024results” on various social media, with several engineering aspirants tagging the Ministry of Education and National Testing Agency (NTA), Office of the Prime Minister of India, Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister of Education and Minister of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Government of India to their demands and concerns regarding the discrepancies in the results of JEE Mains 2024.

February 15 and 16: The All India Student's Union (AISU), a student-led organisation, has highlighted its demands for a fair and transparent process regarding the key results of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). Calling it unacceptable, AISU wrote: “Candidates with lower marks are given higher percentiles due to the NTA's uneven distribution of candidates across shifts. This variation is enormous and unfair.”

JEE-NEET Students Community (JNSC) meets Meanwhile, aspirants and many parents are currently considering legal action. They plan to go to court to discuss the matter. At the same time, the JEE-NEET Students Community (JNSC) plans to present a representation to the National Testing Agency (NTA) on Monday, February 19, urging immediate action to address their concerns. “Year after year, #JeeMains aspirants face persistent challenges without adequate solutions. It's time for @NTA_Exams,” the tweet read.

“After a productive discussion with many parents planning to visit the NTA and meet the officials, we invite those interested to join us,” the tweet read.

February 17, 2024: The National Testing Agency has released a clarification on the alleged discrepancies in the results of JEE Main 2024. “As per the norms followed by the NTA, several question papers of similar content were prepared and randomly selected for each service without knowledge of the difficulty level of any question paper. The varied difficulty in question papers is an inherent part of multi-shift examination and therefore normalization is the preferred mode for determining scores. There is no equivalence between raw scores and normalized scores, NTA said in an official statement.

The “Percentile Score Normalization Procedure” was used to ensure that candidates were neither advantaged nor disadvantaged due to the difficulty of the exam. As per policy, the NTA does not release raw scores but only the percentile. The percentile score is the normalized score for the exam (rather than the raw marks of the candidate) and is used for preparing the merit lists. In case the percentiles for the multi-shifts are different/unequal, the lower will be the eligibility cut-off for that category for all candidates (i.e. all shifts). Raw marks obtained by the candidates in different shifts/sessions are converted into NTA Score.

The date/shift/slot of the exam is randomly assigned by the computer as per the normalization process. During Session 1, it was ensured that each team was equally distributed in terms of number of candidates, gender and category.

The process ensures that all candidates appearing in a shift are presented with the same question paper, with questions and options jumbled up. In that sense, they are tested on a level playing field. It is common that in such a case a candidate who scores say 75 marks will always be ranked higher than any other candidate with lower marks say 70, NTA added.

The percentile of candidates appearing in different shifts of the JEE (Main) – 2024 Session 1, calculated as per the above formula and declared on February 12, 2024, is as follows:

'After the announcement of the JEE (Main) – 2024 Session 1 result, numerous issues have been raised regarding the candidates with lower marks being given a higher percentile. It is reiterated that the JEE (Main) – 2024 Session 1 exam has been conducted as per the norms and procedures followed for conducting high-stakes examinations, ensuring fair and equal opportunity to all candidates, NTA added.

Even after the National Testing Agency (NTA) issued an official statement debunking any discrepancies in the JEE Main 2024 results, students remain unconvinced. “We need transparency of the process. Publish exact grades, calculation method and percentile together. If this is not your policy, please change the policy. It's easy. No scams please,” one tweet read.

Calling it an unfair calculation, another aspirant wrote, “Not a fair calculation… it's sad that such an important exam in a student's life is spoiled like this.”

“1)the difference between the difficulty on January 27 and January 31 was not that much of 80 points! 2) Especially 99% for 77 marks in math is just unbelievable compared to student response. 3) And if the difficulty was random, that's why only 4 teams had a higher cutoff…,” wrote a third user. “Why is there an 80 point difference between services for the same percentile? Need to explain this. Please don't say paper was easy on 27th and hard on 31st, and please don't say all brilliants only took the test on 27th,” a fourth user added.

The NTA scores for Paper 2A (B.Arch.) and 2B (B.Planning) for the JEE (Main) – 2024 Session 1 will be released in the coming days.
