Questions related to JEE Advanced

Have a question related to JEE Advanced ?

Hello aspirant,

Congratulations on your performance in both JEE Main and JEE Advanced. With a JEE Main rank of around 11,200, you stand a decent chance of getting branches like CSE (in newer IIITs), ECE, Mechanical, or related streams in NITs such as NIT Calicut, NIT Nagpur, and NIT Rourkela, depending on your category and home state. Your JEE Advanced rank of 8,700 may fetch you seats in some of the newer IITs or less core branches in older ones like IIT BHU or IIT ISM Dhanbad.

If you're unsure about which college or branch to choose, it’s a good idea to first make a list of your priorities—like your preferred branch, location, research or placement focus—and then look at previous year cutoffs for those colleges. You can also use college predictors based on your rank to get a clearer idea of your options.

Hope this helps you take the next step confidently. All the best for your counselling and future journey.

dear student,

If you are giving the re-exam for Mathematics and you pass it, you will become eligible for IIT admission , provided you meet all other criteria (such as minimum percentage or top 20 percentile in your board for your category). IITs require you to have passed Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in your 12th board exams.

However, you must submit your passing certificate and marksheet before the IIT admission deadline. If your re-exam results are declared and you pass before the document verification/counselling process ends, you can take admission in IIT. If your results come after the admission process is over, you will not be eligible for this year and may have to try again next year.

dear student,


At an SC rank of 4276 in JEE Advanced , getting into older IITs (like Bombay, Delhi, Madras, Kanpur) isn’t possible — even for less popular branches, these usually close below SC rank 2000–2500.

But you still have good chances in newer IITs and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad , especially for core branches like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical , and a few interdisciplinary programs.
like:

  • IIT Bhilai – Civil, Mechanical, Electrical

  • IIT Jammu – Civil, Mechanical, Chemical

  • IIT Dharwad – Civil, Mechanical

  • IIT Goa – Mechanical, possibly Civil in later rounds

  • IIT Palakkad / Tirupati – Civil, Mechanical

  • IIT ISM Dhanbad – Mining, Petroleum, Environmental, Civil, Interdisciplinary

  • IIT Jodhpur – Sometimes Civil or lesser opted branches

These options mostly open up in later JoSAA rounds , and availability may vary slightly year to year.

Hello,

In JEE Advanced , the OBC-NCL women's rank is typically lower than the overall OBC-NCL rank. If a candidate's overall OBC-NCL rank is 11051 , their rank within the OBC-NCL women category could be around 1051 - 2105 depending on the number of women candidates in that category.

Thank you!!

Hi aspirant,

For a JEE Advance rank of 5,000 or between 5,000 and 10,000, candidates can consider IITs like,

  • IIT Mandi - Electrical engineering
  • IIT Ropar - Mechanical Engineering
  • IIT Hyderabad - Engineering Science
  • IIT Tirupati - CSE
  • IIT Hyderabad - Engineering Physics
  • IIT Bombay - Chemistry (B. Sc)
  • IIT Guwahati - Chemical Engineering
  • IIT BHU Varanasi - Civil Engineering
  • IIT Delhi - Textile Technology
  • IIT Kanpur - Bioengineering
  • IIT Gandhinagar - Chemical engineering
  • IIT Jodhpur - Electrical Engineering
  • IIT Hyderabad - Civil Engineering
  • IIT Patna - Electrical Engineering
  • IIT Palakkad - CSE
  • IIT Guwahati - Engineering Physics
  • IIT Roorkee - Metallurgical Engineering
  • IIT Goa - CSE
  • IIT BHU Varanasi - Chemical engineering
  • IIT Kharagpur - Biotechnology & Biochemical
  • IIT Kharagpur - Mining Engineering
  • IIT Kharagpur - Ocean Eng. & Naval Arch.
  • IIT Guwahati - Civil Engineering
  • IIT Madras - Naval & Ocean Engineering
  • IIT Jodhpur - Mechanical Engineering
  • IIT Mandi - Mechanical Engineering
  • IIT Kanpur - Chemistry (B. Sc)
  • IIT Gandhinagar - Civil Engineering
  • IIT Jammu - CSE

These are not 100% accurate so you just have chances to get into one of these. You may want to check the cutoffs individually. This is a rough figure for you because at the end it depends on various factors like the cutoffs, no, of candidates and etc. Below mentioned is the link where you can find more details about which colleges you might get under this rank. Kindly refer to it.
