Zero or Even Negative JEE Score Enough for Engg Admission?

NAGPUR: Ever since the Maharashtra government declared that the admissions to first year engineering courses would be conducted through Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) from 2014-15 academic session, there is a lot of confusion among the aspirants on eligibility criteria.

Mumbai-based Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) that conducts the admissions has clarified that even candidates scoring zero or negative marks in JEE would be eligible but they needed to score at least 50% aggregate (45% for reserved category) in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) group in their board exams. Till last year, the admissions were made through MHT-CET and any non-zero score was enough.

New Eligibility Norms for Engineering Admissions:

* Candidates must appear JEE Mains
* Even zero or negative score in JEE would be enough
* JEE Advanced score would not be taken into account
* Should score at least 50% marks in PCM (45% for SC/ST) in board exam
* 50% weightage each for JEE and PCM marks (board) while preparing merit list
* Admission to autonomous colleges also to be made through JEE score
DTE to conduct four rounds and no separate round for autonomous colleges
