###### 1. INDIAN INSTITUTES OF TECHNOLOGY​
Admission into various undergraduate programs across IITs is carried out through the Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) [JEE (Advanced)]. The Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) 2022 [JEE (Advanced) 2022] and the subsequent process of admission to the IITs shall be governed by the some rules, read in conjunction with the Business Rules of the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) 2022 (to be published separately). Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are institutions of national importance established through Acts of Parliament for fostering excellence in education. Over the years, IITs have created a world class educational platform that is dynamically sustained through quality teaching and internationally acclaimed research with excellent infrastructure and the best available minds. The faculty and alumni of IITs occupy key positions in academia and industry throughout the world and continue to make considerable impact on all sections of the society. At present, there are twenty-three IITs across the country. The primary objectives of IITs are as follows:
• To create an environment that encourages freedom of thought and pursuit of excellence and inculcates the necessary vision and self-discipline to achieve excellence.
• To build a solid foundation of scientific and technical knowledge and to prepare competent and motivated engineers and scientists.
• To kindle an entrepreneurial spirit among the students.
• To prepare the students to become outstanding professionals and contribute to nation-building.
• The seats reserved for $\mathrm{SC}$, $\mathrm{ST}$ and $\mathrm{PwD}$ candidates which remain vacant will be allotted to the candidates of respective categories for admission to a preparatory course of 1-year duration on the basis of relaxed admission criteria.
• Admission is given to the candidates in the preparatory course provided (i) the seats reserved for the respective category are vacant, (ii) candidates satisfy minimum norms, and (iii) candidates have not accepted a seat in the preparatory course earlier.
• Selected IITs will run preparatory courses of one-year duration for for $\mathrm{SC}$, $\mathrm{ST}$ and $\mathrm{PwD}$ candidates intended to prepare them to pursue the academic program (for Academic Year 2023-24) to which they have been allocated. At the end of this course, candidates are declared ‘pass’ or ‘fail’. The institute at which one-year preparatory course is run for a candidate may be different from the institute allocated to the candidate for their academic program.
• On successful completion of the course, the candidates will be offered direct admission in 2023 (Academic Year 2023-24) to the already allotted undergraduate course at the originally allocated IIT.
• Candidates admitted to the preparatory course are also eligible to appear for JEE (Advanced) 2023 subject to fulfilling other eligibility criteria.
• Filling-in of choices for preparatory courses is to be completed through the JoSAA online portal.

1. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR INDIAN NATIONALS FOR APPEARING FOR JEE (ADVANCED) 2021
All the candidates must simultaneously fulfil each and every one of the following five criteria to appear for JEE (Advanced) 2022. Criterion 1 – Performance in JEE (Main) 2022: Candidates should be among the top $2,50,000^{*}$ successful candidates (including all categories) in B.E./B.Tech. Paper of JEE (Main) 2022. The percentages of various categories of candidates to be shortlisted are: $10 \%$ for $\mathrm{GEN}$ -$\mathrm{EWS}$, $27 \%$ for $\mathrm{OBC}$-$\mathrm{NCL}$, $15 \%$ for $\mathrm{SC}$, $7.5 \%$ for $\mathrm{ST}$ and the remaining $40.5 \%$ is OPEN for all. Within each of these five categories, $5 \%$ horizontal reservation is available for $\mathrm{PwD}$ candidates. The following table shows the order to be followed while choosing top $2,50,000^{*}$ candidates in various categories based on the performance in B.E./B.Tech. Paper of JEE (Main) 2022. Category-wise distribution of top $2,50,000^{*}$ candidates (Criterion 1) * The total number of candidates may be slightly greater than 2,50,000 in the presence of “tied” ranks / scores in any category. Criterion 2 – Age limit: Candidates should have been born on or after October 1, 1997. Five years age relaxation is given to $\mathrm{SC}$, $\mathrm{ST}$ and $\mathrm{PWD}$ candidates, i.e., these candidates should have been born on or after October 1, 1992. Criterion 3 – Number of attempts: A candidate can attempt JEE (Advanced) maximum of two times in two consecutive years. Criterion 4 – Appearance in Class XII (or equivalent) examination*: A candidate should have appeared for the Class XII (or equivalent) examination for the first time in either 2021 or 2022 with the subjects Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Candidates who had appeared in Class XII (or equivalent) examination, for the first time in 2020 or earlier, are NOT eligible to appear in JEE (Advanced) 2022. * By appearance in Class XII (or equivalent) examination, it is meant that the board concerned declared the result of a particular candidate for that year irrespective of whether or not an examination was conducted. It will be considered as an appearance even if the result of a particular candidate got withheld. However, if the examination Board of Class XII (or equivalent) declared the results for the academic year 2019-20 after June 2020, then the candidates of that board who appeared for their Class XII exam in 2020 are also eligible to appear in JEE (Advanced) 2022, provided they meet all the other eligibility criteria. In case, the examination Board of Class XII (or equivalent) declared the results for the academic year 2019-20 before June 2020 but the result of a particular candidate was withheld, then the candidate will not be eligible to appear in JEE (Advanced) 2022. Relaxation of Criteria 1 to 4 as a special case for JEE (Advanced) 2022: Candidates who successfully registered for JEE (Advanced) 2021 but were absent in both the papers, i.e. Paper 1 and Paper 2, of JEE (Advanced) 2021 are eligible to appear for JEE (Advanced) 2022 and do not need to fulfil Criteria 1 to 4 above. However, they must successfully register for the JEE (Advanced) 2022 in the online registration portal and pay the registration fee. Further, these candidates would be considered in addition to and not as part of the total number of candidates who would qualify from JEE (Main) 2022 for appearing in JEE (Advanced) 2022. This is a one-time measure valid only for JEE (Advanced) 2022. These candidates can confirm their eligibility for appearing in JEE (Advanced) 2022 by visiting the official website (https://jeeadv.ac.in) and filling in the requisite information. A Unique Reference Code (URC) will be provided to the eligible candidates, which will be required during the registration process; instructions for the same shall be provided on the official website at the time of registration. Criterion 5 – Earlier admission at IITs: A candidate should NOT have been admitted to an IIT irrespective of whether or not the candidate continued in the program OR accepted a seat at an IIT by reporting “online” / at a “reporting centre” through JoSAA in the past. Candidates whose admission to IITs  was cancelled (for whatever reason) after joining any IIT are also NOT eligible to appear for JEE (Advanced) $2022$. Candidates who have been admitted to a preparatory course in any of the IITs for the first time in 2021 can appear in JEE (Advanced) 2022. The candidates who were allocated a seat in an IIT through JoSAA 2021 but (i) did not report “online”/ at any “reporting centre” OR, (ii) withdrew before the last round of seat allotment, OR, (iii) had their seat cancelled (for whatever reason) before the last round of seat allotment for IITs, are eligible to appear for JEE (Advanced) 2022. However, in all of the above cases, the candidate is also required to fulfil the conditions mentioned from Criterion 1 to Criterion 4. Eligibility criteria for foreign national candidates can be found at: https://jeeadv.ac.in/foreign.php
RESERVATION OF SEATS Indian nationals belonging to certain categories are admitted under the seats reserved for them in accordance with the rules prescribed by the Government of India. The categories and the extent of reservation are as follows: – General Category belonging to Economically Weaker Section ($\mathrm{GEN}$ -$\mathrm{EWS}$) – $10 \%$ of seats in every course. The benefit of reservation will be given only to those General category candidates who satisfy the condition given in the OM No. 20013/01/2018-BC-II dated January 17, 2019 issued by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. – Other Backward Classes belonging to the Non-Creamy Layer ($\mathrm{OBC}$-$\mathrm{NCL}$) – $27 \%$ of seats in every course. $\mathrm{OBCs}$ should be listed in the current updated central list of $\mathrm{OBC}$s (http://www.ncbc.nic.in). OBCs present in the state list but not covered in the central list of $\mathrm{OBCs}$ (as per the list in http://www.ncbc.nic.in) are not eligible to claim the reservation. The criteria for Non-Creamy Layer ($\mathrm{OBC}$-$\mathrm{NCL}$) will be as per the notification of Government of India. Candidates belonging to the creamy layer of $\mathrm{OBC}$ are NOT entitled for reservation. Such candidates are treated as belonging to the general ($\mathrm{GEN}), i.e. unreserved category, and they will be eligible only for the$\mathrm{OPEN} seats – the seats for which all candidates are eligible. – Scheduled Caste ($\mathrm{SC}$) – $15 \%$ of seats in every course. – Scheduled Tribe ($\mathrm{ST}$) – $7.5 \%$ of seats in every course. The benefit of reservation will be given only to those castes and tribes that are mentioned in the respective central list of corresponding states published by the Government of India (websites: http://socialjustice.nic.in and https://ncst.nic.in). – Persons with Disability ($\mathrm{PwD}$) – $5 \%$ seats in each of $\mathrm{OPEN}$, $\mathrm{GEN}$-$\mathrm{EWS}$, $\mathrm{OBC}$-$\mathrm{NCL}$, $\mathrm{SC}$ and $\mathrm{ST}$ category seats. Candidates with at least $40 \%$ impairment irrespective of the type of disability i.e., locomotor, visual or SEVERE dyslexic shall be eligible for the benefits of $\mathrm{PwD}$ sub-category. Leprosy-cured candidates who are otherwise fit to pursue the courses are also included in this sub-category. Candidates belonging to the $\mathrm{GEN}$-$\mathrm{EWS}$, $\mathrm{OBC}$-$\mathrm{NCL}$, $\mathrm{SC}$, $\mathrm{ST}$ and $\mathrm{PwD}$ categories/sub-categories will be declared as qualified on the basis of a relaxed criterion. Unfilled seats, if any, reserved under $\mathrm{GEN}$-$\mathrm{EWS}$ and $\mathrm{OBC}$-$\mathrm{NCL}$ category will be dereserved to OPEN category seats, subject to availability of further rounds of counselling. However, seats remaining vacant under the $\mathrm{SC}$ and $\mathrm{ST}$ categories shall NOT be de-reserved to any other category. The reservation for $\mathrm{PwD}$ candidates is horizontal and hence, unfilled seats if any, will be de-reserved to the respective categories i.e., unfilled $\mathrm{SC}$-$\mathrm{PwD}$ seats will be converted to the $\mathrm{SC}$ category seats and so on. This will again be subject to availability of further rounds of counselling. The category of a candidate as entered in the database, which will be made available by the JEE Apex Board (which conducts JEE (Main) 2022 examination), will be final and shall remain same in JEE (Advanced) 2022 examination and requests for change of category will NOT be entertained. Candidates must note that the benefit of reservation will be given to them subject to verification of documents. If it is discovered at any stage that a candidate has used a false / fake / incorrect document, or has furnished false, incorrect or incomplete information, in order to avail the benefit of reservation, then such a candidate shall be excluded from all admission processes. In case such a candidate has already been given admission, the admission shall stand cancelled. DEFENCE SERVICE CANDIDATES Defence Service (DS) candidates are children of defence / paramilitary personnel killed or permanently disabled in action during war or peacetime operations. Two seats are available for preferential allotment in each Institute for DS candidates. To avail this preferential allotment, a DS candidate must be in the Common Rank List of JEE (Advanced) 2022. FOREIGN NATIONALS Candidates who are NOT citizens of India (by birth or naturalized) and/or are OCI/PIO card holders are treated as foreign nationals [Reference: (The Gazette of India) No. CG-DL-E04032021-225647, dated: $4^{\text {th }}$ March, 2021 [S.O. 1050(E)]]. Seats allotted to such foreign national candidates are supernumerary with a cap of $10 \%$ of total number of seats in every course. These candidates are outside the ambit of reservation of seats under the $\mathrm{GEN}$-$\mathrm{EWS}$, $\mathrm{OBC}$-$\mathrm{NCL}$, $\mathrm{SC}$, $\mathrm{ST}$ and $\mathrm{PwD}$ categories / sub-categories as specified herein. The foreign national candidates who have studied or are studying abroad at 10 level or equivalent at the time of registering for JEE (Advanced) 2022 are NOT required to write JEE (Main) 2022 and may register for JEE (Advanced) 2022 directly subject to fulfilment of other eligibility criteria (for details refer to https://jeeadv.ac.in/foreign.php).

RANK LIST Only candidates who appear for BOTH Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be considered for ranking.
• The marks obtained by a candidate in Physics in JEE (Advanced) 2022 will be equal to the marks scored in the Physics part of Paper 1 plus the marks scored in the Physics part of Paper 2. Marks obtained in Chemistry and Mathematics will be calculated in the same way.
• The aggregate marks obtained by a candidate in JEE (Advanced) 2022 will be the sum of the marks awarded to the candidate in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
• Rank lists are prepared based on the aggregate marks in JEE (Advanced) 2022.
• If the aggregate marks scored by two or more candidates are the same, then the following tie-break policy will be used for awarding ranks:
Step 1: Candidates having higher positive marks will be awarded higher rank. If the tie breaking criterion at Step 1 fails to break the tie, then the following criterion at Step 2 will be followed.
