The NTA has revised the tie ranking to award ranks to candidates who score the same before JEE Main 2025. Under the revised scheme, candidates’ age and JEE Main 2025 application numbers will no longer be considered while assigning ranks to candidates with identical scores. Instead, rankings will be based solely on students’ test scores. If the candidates’ performance is the same, they will get the same JEE Main rank
