JEE Main 2015 ranks rise after Class 12 marks revised

On Friday, the students who appeared for JEE Main 2015 could see their revised ranks. The students' Class 12 scores increased after the re-evaluation, which led to an increase in their ranks by a margin of few hundred and even thousands in some cases.
Though the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) did not release any official notification regarding the revised rank list, the students were able to view their new ranks.
The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) ensured students that they will be allotted seats according to their merit and revised ranks. For this, the students should have filled-in their choices of courses and colleges in a decreasing order of preferences.
