On June 27, the meeting was held under the Chairmanship of Professor M M Sharma, Member, IIT Council, Chairman Board of Governors of IIT Madras and Chairman of the Standing Committee of IIT Council. In this meeting they discussed about the recommendations of JAB meeting held on June 23, 2012 and reached on a compromised agreement. The compromised pattern can be summarized as follows :

JEE ADVANCED examination will be held after JEE MAIN with a suitable time gap. Only the top 150,000 candidates (including all categories) in JEE MAIN will be qualified to appear in the JEE Advanced examination.

Admissions to IITs will be based only on category wise All India Rank (AIR) in JEE ADVANCED subject to condition that such candidates are in the top 20 percentile of successful candidates of their Boards in applicable categories.

At this meet the difficulty and details of JEE advanced was not discussed, but it is expected that the difficulty level of the main exam will be as much as All-India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE).

National Institute of Technology (NIT) council will meet on July 4 to discuss the admission procedure.
