Questions related to JEE Main

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Hello there,

With a JEE Main rank of 515,338, chances of getting admission in top NITs or IIITs are very low. However, you can consider:

  1. State Government Engineering Colleges — Many states have their own counseling where you may get seats in less competitive colleges.

  2. Private Engineering Colleges — Private colleges usually have lower cutoffs and can offer branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical Engineering.

  3. Deemed Universities — Some private deemed universities accept JEE Main ranks for admission.

  4. Specialized Institutes — Some institutes accept JEE Main rank with higher cutoffs.

It’s best to participate in state counseling (like your state’s engineering admission process) and also explore private college admission options based on your rank.

I would recommend you to use the JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello there,

With a 94.93 percentile in JEE Main Paper 2 and belonging to the OBC-NCL female category from Bengaluru, your chances of securing a seat in SPA Vijayawada are promising. Careers360

SPA Vijayawada B.Arch Cutoff Trends (OBC-NCL Category):

  • 2024: Closing rank around 619 .

  • 2023: Closing rank approximately 557 .

  • 2025 (Expected): Projections suggest a closing rank between 302 and 312 .

Your percentile typically corresponds to an All India Rank (AIR) between 10,000 and 15,000 .  Considering the reservation benefits for OBC-NCL candidates, your effective rank would be more favorable within your category.

Conclusion:

Given your percentile and category, you have a competitive chance of admission to the B.Arch program at SPA Vijayawada. However, admission depends on various factors, including the total number of applicants, seat availability, and the overall difficulty level of the exam in the current year. It's advisable to monitor official announcements and participate in the counseling process to confirm your admission status.

HEY THERE!!

With a 67 percentile in JEE Mains 2025 and SC category from Uttarakhand, you are not eligible for admission in B.Tech in G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology (Pantnagar University) in the mode of JEE Main.

Key Points:

  1. JEE Main 2025 SC Cut-off: SC category qualifying percentile is 61.15. You have exceeded the qualifying cut-off.
  2. Admission Procedure: In Pantnagar University B.Tech, it is carried out on the merits of JEE Main and then university counselling.
  3. Cut-off Trends: Admission cut-offs for B.Tech in Pantnagar University even for SC category in last years are really high than the passing percentile. Normally, in order to get a seat (especially in home state quota), you need to have a really high percentile or higher JEE Main rank due to competition and fewer seats.
  4. Reservation: 19% of seats are reserved for SC candidates at Pantnagar University.

Conclusion:

  1. Eligibility: You are eligible since you have passed the SC qualifying percentile.
  2. Admission Chances: With 67 percentile, your chances of admission for a B.Tech seat in GBPUAT Pantnagar are very low, even with home state and SC reservation, as actual admission cut-offs are always much higher.

Recommendation

You can still apply, but also consider other universities and state counselling options where the cut-off would be less. For better knowledge, check out the official GBPUAT counselling notifications and previous year closing ranks of SC category.

HEY THERE!!

Your rank being 391,778 in JEE Main and being interested in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) in Bengaluru means that your chances of getting through top college (such as RVCE, MSRIT, PES University, BMSCE, IIIT Bangalore) are not feasible as their CSE cut-offs will be significantly lower (usually below 20,000–30,000). But most private engineering colleges in Bangalore do accept the JEE Main score and have closing ranks significantly higher, so getting through in lesser-known or newer institutions is possible.


Likely Colleges Accepting Your Rank for CSE in Bengaluru

Following are the types of colleges you should consider:

  • Private engineering colleges with lower intake and higher cut-offs
  • Colleges where management quota or spot counselling is offered

Some of the options to look out for:

  1. REVA University, Bangalore
  2. Acharya Institute of Technology, Bangalore
  3. Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology (for non-CSE branches, or through management quota for CSE)
  4. New Horizon College of Engineering
  5. East Point College of Engineering and Technology
  6. Cambridge Institute of Technology
  7. AMC Engineering College
  8. Gopalan College of Engineering and Management
  9. Don Bosco Institute of Technology
  10. T John Institute of Technology

Note: Actual cut-offs can differ every year. For CSE, even these colleges can have higher demand, so you might have to look at related branches (such as IT, ECE) or management quota seats for CSE.

How to Proceed

  • Utilize JEE Main College Predictor tools to see your chances in particular colleges.
  • Check the official websites of these colleges for their JEE Main-based admission procedure and to find out if CSE seats are open at your rank.
  • Optionally, apply through COMEDK UGET or management quota to have wider options in Bengaluru.

Recommendation:

Apply to several private colleges and maintain backup alternatives in related branches or management quota. For the most precise and updated list, utilize a college predictor tool or directly contact college admission offices.
