Questions related to JEE Main

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

Hello Ishan,

With an SC rank of 4763 in NCHMCT JEE 2025, it is going to be near impossible to get admission in IHM Kolkata in the 1st round, as based on in previous years, the cutoff ranks for the SC category in top tier IHMs like Kolkata seem to close much earlier (most often under 1000–1500 in rank). However, you could possibly get in different rounds/spot rounds if there are empty seats.

With an EWS rank of 11,895 in JEE Mains 2025 , getting admission into a top NIT (like NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, NIT Surathkal, etc.) through the General EWS category is quite difficult, especially in high-demand branches like CSE, ECE, or IT. These branches usually close under EWS rank 2,000–5,000 for top NITs.

However, you still have chances at some lower-tier NITs or less competitive branches such as:

  • NIT Mizoram

  • NIT Nagaland

  • NIT Meghalaya

  • NIT Arunachal Pradesh

  • NIT Puducherry (for home state candidates)

  • NIT Agartala

Hello Anushka,

With a JEE Main Paper II rank of 3300 in the OBC category, you have a good chance of getting admission in several reputed colleges offering B.Arch courses.

Key points:

  • Top government and private colleges usually have closing ranks for OBC candidates around or above your rank.

  • Institutes like National Institutes of Technology (NITs), some State Government colleges, and well-known private universities may offer seats at this rank.

  • Admission depends on factors like state quota, counseling rounds, and seat availability.

  • It is important to participate in the JoSAA counseling and state-level counseling processes to maximize your options.

You should explore colleges such as NITs with architecture programs, IIIT Hyderabad (if available), and prominent private universities offering B.Arch. Checking official counseling details and cutoffs each year will give clearer guidance.


I would recommend you to use the JEE Mains B.Arch 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.
