• Removal of Age Factor : In the previous years, age was considered in the tie-breaking process. However, starting from JEE Main 2025, age has been removed from the calculation. This means that if two applicants have equal scores, their age will no longer be a factor in deciding their ranks.
• Current Tie-Breaking Steps : The New JEE Main 2025 Tie-Breaking Policy now follows the below-outlined criteria:
  • Higher score in Mathematics : If there is a tie, the student with the higher score in Mathematics will be given a better rank.
  • Next, score in Physics : If scores in Mathematics are also equal, the Physics score will be considered.
  • Next, score in Chemistry : If Mathematics and Physics scores are the same, the Chemistry score will be next.
  • Correct to Wrong Answers Ratio : If there is still a tie, the applicants will be ranked based on the lower ratio of correct answers to wrong answers across all subjects, followed by Mathematics, Physics, and then Chemistry.
  • Same Rank for Remaining Applicants : If a tie still exists after these criteria, applicants will be assigned the same rank.
