Hello,

With a rank of 38,422 for WBJEE Pharmacy and 9,225 for TFW, achieving government pharmacy college is not too simple; however, you are likely to have good prospects in the private or semi-government colleges within West Bengal in the name of TFW. Your rank at OBC category is 4,153, so you have a higher chance due to categorized students in the colleges.

Some possible pharmacy colleges that you can opt for are:

  • Brainware University
  • NSHM Knowledge Campus
  • Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology
  • JIS University
  • Bengal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research

For JEE Main rank 168,908, admission to top tier NITs and IIITs will be tough but you may seek state level engineering colleges or lower tiers NITs through home state quota.

Yes, you qualify for the SC reservation quota under the Home State Quota in NIT Karnataka since you hold a Caste Certificate (SC) and a Karnataka domicile certificate.


You will be taken into account for the All India SC category reservation for other NITs around India. For NIT admissions nationwide, you can take use of the reservation benefits in JEE Main as long as you possess a valid SC certificate from Karnataka. But make sure all of your paperwork is in order and accepted by the JEE officials.


Hey there! Thanks for reaching out to Careers360 with your JEE Mains questions. I totally get it - preparing for such a big exam in 6 months can feel pretty daunting.

For JEE Mains prep in 6 months, you'll want to focus on the core topics in Physics, Chemistry, and Math. Some key areas to drill down on:

Physics: Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Optics

Chemistry: Physical Chemistry, Organic reactions

Math: Calculus, Algebra, Coordinate Geometry

The good news is that JEE Mains prep does cover a lot of ground for BITSAT too. There's quite a bit of overlap in the syllabus. You might just need to brush up on a few extra topics for BITSAT, but your JEE studying will definitely give you a solid foundation.

As for top colleges, the IITs are always popular choices. But don't forget to check out NITs and BITS Pilani too - they're excellent options.

Let me know if you need any more specific advice on your prep strategy. Wishing you all the best with your studies!
