Fifty percent of the total admission score is based on school board exam results.
The remaining fifty percent is based on the Joint Entrance Examination for engineering or the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for medicine.
A low score in one component requires a very high score in the other to meet the required total.

Students and families need to plan carefully to achieve good results in both areas.
