How to recruit based on IIT JEE Rank vs GPA

Preserving this post by Daniel George showing the IIT Bombay 2014 GPA vs JEE Rank on a log scale.

What I found interesting was:

A higher JEE rank generally means you won’t score too low, but you needn’t score too high.
The higher the JEE rank, the greater the spread of GPA.
A high GPA can come from any rank (8+ GPA is uniformly distributed across ranks), but a low GPA is generally only from the lower rankers (6- GPA is mostly from 500+ rank.)

So, it’s better to recruit based on GPA rather than JEE rank, unless you’re going after the very best students (where it makes less difference.)

Tomorrow’s leaders: opinion on IIT/IIM grads by T N Ninan at Business Standard. From his interviews for the Aditya Birla scholarships, and observes that there is a lack of awareness about India among them, and that the real value of the IITs/IIMs is in the selection process, not the education. I disagree on the latter. I think the 4+2 years of intense competition also adds value. The curriculum, however, may or may not.
