Seeing the panic amongst the students, we at Careers360 had taken the initiative to put forth all the doubts that were arising on account of the JEE Main 2014 Online Application into an open letter to the CBSE chairman. Our Editor Mahesh Sarma also met the CBSE representatives to hand over the letter and conveyed the concerns of the students in person. We were assured of a response to all the queries and doubts by CBSE at the earliest.
All the questions asked by us at Careers360 in our Open Letter to the CBSE have been answered point wise and exactly as we asked them. We are nevertheless heartened to see a response from the CBSE albeit a bit late though. It was our idea to put the answers in the form of a FAQ which is exactly what the CBSE has done in their latest notice.

With an OBC-NCL percentile of 86.0032 in JEE Main 2025, your expected category rank is around 45,000–55,000. It is very unlikely that you'll get a seat at NIT Trichy, as its OBC-NCL cutoffs for most branches usually close within the top 5,000–8,000 ranks.
NIT Trichy cutoff trends:
- CSE: Below 1,500
- ECE: Below 3,500
- Mechanical/Civil: Around 5,000–6,500
- Least competitive branches: Still under 10,000 in most cases
What you can do:
- Explore other NITs with higher cutoffs like NIT Nagaland, NIT Mizoram, or NIT Agartala
- Consider GFTIs or state-level colleges
- Participate in JoSAA counseling—you may get a seat in a lower-demand branch at a newer institute
With a JEE Main 2025 rank of 103,278 and OBC-NCL category, getting a seat in top NITs or IIITs for popular branches like CSE is unlikely. However, you may still get:
- Lower-demand branches (like Civil, Mechanical) in newer NITs (e.g., NIT Agartala, NIT Arunachal).
- Some IIITs or GFTIs with higher closing ranks.
- Better chances through state counseling or private colleges accepting JEE scores.
For DAIICT Gandhinagar's ICT branch in 2024, OBC students from Gujarat (Home State) needed a JEE Main rank around 515 or better to get admission. This rank is based on the Common Rank List (CRL). The cutoff changes every year depending on the number of applicants, difficulty of the exam, and seat availability. So, it's always good to aim for a much better rank to stay on the safe side for top branches like ICT at DAIICT.

With a JEE Main rank of 2,48,181 in the General category, it’s tough to get top colleges for B.Tech/B.E in CS or AI. But don’t worry—you can still get admission in private colleges or through state counseling like in UP, MP, or Rajasthan, where cutoffs are slightly lower. Since you may qualify for EWS, you should definitely use that in JoSAA or state counseling. Try colleges like NIET, GL Bajaj, LPU, or Amity for CS or AI branches.

With a JEE Main OBC rank of 39,015, getting into top NITs for popular branches like CSE or AI is tough. But don’t lose hope—you might still get lower-demand branches like Civil, Mechanical, or ECE in newer NITs or in home state quota if applicable. Keep an eye on spot rounds and use your category wisely in JoSAA counselling. Also, consider IIITs, GFTIs, or good private colleges as backup options. Stay positive and apply everywhere possible!
