IIT-JEE was held as single exam for admission to the IITs and other selected colleges for the academic year 2007-2008. Out of total seats, 15% seats are reserved for Scheduled Caste students and 7.5% for Scheduled Tribe students, besides 3% for Physically Handicapped candidates. There is also 27% seats planned for Other Backward Classes, and each institute will implement the quota for OBC over next three years. For this year, institutes plan for 9% to 13% intake of OBC students this year.
The total number of students who appeared for the JEE this year was 311.258 of which 8,652 were eligible to seek admission to 6,872 seats in IITs at Mumbai, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Chennai and Roorkee, IT-BHU Varanasi and ISMU, Dhanbad; in addition to six new IITs opened this year in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Bihar, Orissa, Punjab and Rajasthan.
In the Main Merit List, about 10% (840) selected were girls. The overall number of students appeared this year was 28% more than the last year. The number of students qualified for the Main Merit List is about 26% more than the available seats, as not all the successful students join the IITs, due to non-availability of branch or institute of their choice.
More details can be found on the official websites of IITs:
The above sites contain lots of useful information and data analysis of JEE results and admission statistics for 2008. This is due to constant inquiries and threat of RTI to get more information. Among the info available are: opening and closing ranks branch/institute wise, marks verses ranks for students of different categories, subject-wise and overall JEE cut-off marks, JEE exam papers with solutions, method of scoring answer sheets, etc.
