Preserving this post by Daniel George showing the IIT Bombay 2014 GPA vs JEE Rank on a log scale.
What I found interesting was:
- A higher JEE rank generally means you won’t score too low, but you needn’t score too high.
- The higher the JEE rank, the greater the spread of GPA.
- A high GPA can come from any rank (8+ GPA is uniformly distributed across ranks), but a low GPA is generally only from the lower rankers (6- GPA is mostly from 500+ rank.)
So, it’s better to recruit based on GPA rather than JEE rank, unless you’re going after the very best students (where it makes less difference.)
