WBJEE GMR Tie Breaking Policy 2024

Every year more than 1 lakh+ candidates appear for WBJEE exam and thus atleast 2 people can get same marks. In this case, the authorities will implement the no rule policy to simplify the scoring system of WBJEE. The following is the detailed marking policy for WBJEE GMR 2024 as per WBJEE ranking system to be followed in the following order:
  • Students who get least negative marks in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry will be listed first.
  • If there is a tie after applying the above rule, preference will be given to the person with more positive marks in mathematics and physics.
  • If there is no tie, preference will be given to those with higher results in mathematics and chemistry.
  • The next rule to break the tie, if it persists, is to favor students who get less negative results in math and physics.
  • Candidates with less negative marks in Mathematics and Chemistry will have priority in ranking to further tie as per WBJEE ranking system.
  • If equality persists even after applying the above rules, preference will be given to those who scored more positively on the Mathematics 2 questions.
  • Students who score more positive marks by 2 points will be given preference in Physics questions, unless the balance is broken as per the above rules.
  • People with more positive scores 2 points Chemistry questions are prioritized if the tie is not yet resolved.
  • In the event of a tie, those with fewer negative scores on two-point math questions will be ranked higher.
  • Students with less negative marks in 2-point physics questions are preferred if there is a balance.
  • Finally, if a tie remains after fulfilling all the criteria, the senior candidate will be given a higher rank as per the WBJEE Ranking System (GMR).

  • Preference will be given to students with less negative grades in Physics and Chemistry.
  • In the event of a tie, priority will be given to those who scored more positive points in chemistry.
  • People with less negative marks in chemistry will get better rank if balance is maintained after following above rules.
  • Those who get 2 points more positive marks in chemistry questions will get higher marks if the balance is not solved.
  • Candidates who receive less negative marks in 2 marks. Chemistry questions take precedence in case of a tie.
  • In case of a tie, the students with more positive scores for the 2-point physics questions will be ranked.
  • People with fewer negative scores on 2-point physics questions are rated higher if equality holds.
  • Finally, if a tie is not resolved after fulfilling the above rules, the higher grade (according to age) will be awarded to the senior student.

WBJEE Ranking System 2024

The WBJEE ranking system basically follows four rules due to which the WBJEE merit list ranks vary among candidates. Let us consider each of them in detail:
  1. Higher scores mean less crowding: if a candidate scores high, there is less competition for them, because only a few candidates score in the upper brackets. However, because of the points, there is not much variation in the ranks.
  2. Fewer grades mean more audience: If a candidate scores less, then the competition is huge, because many students would have scored in that class. So, in this case, even a difference of 1 point can lead to a drop of 500-600 points.
  3. A negative score causes a decrease in ranking: even if two students get the same result, there may be differences in ranking. This is because one of the candidates had to mark many wrong answers. Hence maintaining accuracy is very important for WBJEE paper.
  4. Subject Priority: If 2 people get the same score, they will be ranked according to the Subject Priority. Time priority basically means no. answers to questions in physics, chemistry and mathematics. Hence a candidate who attempts more questions on the most important subject will get a better rank.
