On Question asked by student community
Hello Dear Student,
With a CRL rank of 4,00,477 and SC rank of 27,365 , getting top NITs or IIITs is very difficult.
However, you may still have slight chances in:
Hello Dear Student,
With a 77.35 percentile in JEE Main as an SC category student, getting ECE or EEE at SASTRA University can be difficult.
SASTRA usually prefers higher JEE Main percentiles for these branches, and the university generally does not provide separate reservation-based cutoffs like state counselling systems.
You
Hi,
With a CRL around 1.48 lakh and OBC rank around 50,000, getting ECE, EEE, or Mechanical at top colleges like NIT Trichy can be very difficult because those branches usually close at much lower ranks.
However, you may still have chances in branches like Civil Engineering at National Institute
Hello Dear Student,
With a 76 percentile in JEE Main , getting a B.Tech seat at USICT Delhi is very difficult, even with EWS quota or through spot rounds.
USICT cutoffs usually close around 40,000–50,000 rank , while a 76 percentile generally corresponds to roughly 2.5–3 lakh rank .
You
Hello Dear Student,
With an SC category rank of 31,370 in JEE Main , getting CSE in top or premium IIITs is very difficult.
Most IIITs usually close their CSE branch at much lower SC category ranks, often below 10,000 .
However, you may still have chances for:
