According to a senior ministry official, “Post-pandemic, in order to bring the academic calendar back to its schedule, the ministry announced the undergraduate admission calendar for 2023 well in advance in December 2022 and the same effort is being made towards also verifying the results announced in a record five days”.
The NTA score is not equal to the percentage of grades obtained. Percentiles or NTA scores are normalized across multi-session papers and are based on the relative performance of all exam takers in a session. The rankings of the candidates are released taking into consideration the better of the two NTA scores according to the existing policy. Document 1 is about admission to BTech/BE programs in IITs, NITs and Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTI).
The exam was conducted in 13 languages (Assamese, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu) in 574 centers in 287 cities (including 17 cities outside of ‘India).
The NTA scores of approximately 50 candidates were withheld due to scrutiny. The cases of these candidates are presented separately to a Committee. Their NTA scores will be declared once the Committee finalizes its report. As first reported by the TOI, participation was 95.80% for Paper 1 (BE/BTech), the highest recorded for the exam and for the first time female enrollment exceeded the 30 % (Paper 1 and Paper 2 together).
