Admission to Nits, Iits and CFTIs participating though Central Seat Allocation Board will be based on All India Rank subject to the condition that the candidate should have secured at least 75% marks in the 12th class examination, or be in the top 20 percentile in the 12th class examination conducted by the respective boards. For SC/ST candidates, the qualifying marks would be 65% in the 12th class examination.
As per the new amends, class XII marks will not be a factor for determining rankings in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for admissions to engineering undergraduate courses from 2017. However, the eligibility criteria still hold.
JEE Main Rank List is prepared with the scores of JEE Main. The scores are arranged in merit and the rank is awarded on this basis only.
What happens in case of a tie? In case of a tie, I.e. when two or more candidates obtain equal marks, inter merit of such candidates shall be decided as per the following order:
Rank list for admission to B.Arch. / B. Planning (in institutions other than Iits)
1. Resolution by marks obtained in Aptitude Test in Paper-2 (B. Arch./B. Planning.) in JEE (Main) 2017. Candidate obtaining higher marks will be given better rank.
2. Resolution of marks obtained in Drawing Test in Paper-2 (B. Arch./B. Planning.) in JEE (Main) 2017. Candidate obtaining higher marks will be given better rank.
3. Resolution by finding the ratio of positive marks and negative marks. Candidate having a higher absolute value of the ratio will be given better rank.
4 If the resolution is not possible after this criterion, candidates will be given the same rank
How is the final AIR determined? By arranging the scores in Merit order, the All India JEE Mains ranks are determined for JEE Mains candidates!

Most important topics to focus on while preparing for B.Arch exams. It has 2 parts.
Part 1 being Mathematics & General Aptitude
Part 2 being Drawing test
