In the context of seat allocation, academic program refers to the combination of

academic program and Institute. For example, 4-year B.Tech.in Computer Science and
Engineering at IIT Bombay is referred to as an academic program. Another example
of an academic program is 4-year B.Tech. in Biotechnology at NIT Calicut.

PARTITIONING OF CANDIDATES

5.

For the purpose of seat allocation, qualified candidates are partitioned into different
categories based on (birth) categories, presence or absence of disability and
nationality. On the basis of such a partition, each candidate is assigned a category tag
as given below.
P Vo 0< = (, L), 0 W F $
_`F S F, - =>< 7 $ q VX 0

Category tag GEN: This is assigned to Indian nationals who do NOT belong to OBCNCL, SC or ST category (or who fail to produce valid OBC-NCL, SC or ST certificate)
and are NOT Persons with Disabilities.

Category tag GEN-PwD: This is assigned to Indian nationals who do NOT belong to
OBC-NCL, SC or ST category (or who fail to produce valid OBC-NCL, SC or ST
certificate) and are Persons with Disabilities. Candidates must produce a valid PwD
certificate to be assigned this tag.

backward class must be in the Central List of OBCs.

For candidates who have registered for JEE (Advanced) 2015, the category of the

For the purpose of allocating seats for NITs and Other-GFTIs, candidates are also
assigned a state code of eligibility.
NIT , GFTIs < D 0< I [ l q

(A) State code of eligibility means the code of the state from where the candidate has
passed Class XII (or equivalent) examination by virtue of which the candidate
becomes eligible to appear in JEE (Main) 2015. The codes of the states are same as
those given in the JEE (Main) 2015 Information Bulletin.

It is important to note that the state code of eligibility does NOT depend upon the
native place or the place of residence of the candidate. For example, if a candidate
appears for the Class XII examination in New Delhi and is a resident of NOIDA,
Uttar Pradesh, the candidates state code of eligibility will be that of Delhi and NOT
that of Uttar Pradesh.

UPGRADATION OF SEAT CATEGORY AFTER THE FIRST ROUND OF SEAT

ALLOCATION
m ]

29. As indicated in Business Rules #18 and #19, candidates may become eligible for seat
allocation in more than one seat category depending upon their category tag and rank
lists in which they appear. A similar situation occurs even in Other-GFTIs [excluding
Birla Institute of Technology Mesra] for Home State candidates.If the allocated seat is
not in the #1 seat category, in subsequent rounds of seat allocation, candidates will be
automatically considered for upgradation of seat category.

this candidate appears in three rank lists: CRL-PwD, SC and SC-PwD. For this candidate,
in subsequent rounds of seat allocation, an attempt will be made to offer a seat in the
seat category SC or OPEN-PwD.
