When the student checked his result on August 8, he had scored 99.4 percentile, however, when he applied for Advanced on August 10, the marksheet displayed a different score. Both mark sheets have the same student name, image, and other details apart from marks. With the revised score he is not eligible to apply for JEE Advanced as only the top 2.5 lakh rank holders are allowed to apply for the same.
