Thus, it means that the 12th class marks will only be used for a qualification metric and will not play any role in determining the JEE ranks.

However, there will be relaxation for the students of SC and ST categories. They will need only 65% marks to qualify as per the notification. All these changes will take place from the 2017-18 session onwards.
