How MP DTE CML Rank is Calculated
The MP DTE prepares the Common Merit List using the following criteria, based on the officially notified methodology:
- JEE Main raw score (primary basis): Your marks out of 300 are the sole ranking factor. Higher marks mean a lower (better) CML rank.
- Tie-breaking rule 1: If two students have equal total marks, the student with higher Mathematics marks is ranked higher.
- Tie-breaking rule 2: If still tied, higher Physics marks decide the rank.
- Domicile requirement: Only students with a valid MP domicile certificate qualify for home-state MP DTE seats and category-based CML ranks.
- Best score across sessions: Students who appeared in both JEE Main Session 1 and Session 2 are ranked based on their best score.
MP DTE does not use JEE Main percentile for CML preparation — it uses the raw score directly. This distinction matters when comparing your position with national rankings based on percentile.
