No, with a JEE Main rank of 30,551 in 2025, getting admission into Mechanical Engineering at SPCE (Sardar Patel College of Engineering, Mumbai) is unlikely. SPCE primarily admits students through the MHT CET under the Maharashtra State CAP counselling process. While it does accept a limited number of JEE Main candidates, the closing ranks for Mechanical Engineering are generally much lower—often below 10,000 for general category students. Since your rank is higher than the typical cutoffs, the chances of securing a seat in this branch at SPCE are very slim unless there is a significant drop in demand or vacancies arise in later rounds.


Hello,

To qualify for the JEE Advanced, you need to score a certain percentile or above. This percentile may change depending on those years competition. Generally you need a percentile of 93-94 to qualify for the JEE Advanced. So, every year only 250,000 candidates from the JEE Mains out of all candidates qualify for the JEE Advanced exam.

I hope it resolves your query!!

Hello,

Yes, you can join AI and Data Science through REAP without JEE Main. REAP gives admission based on Class 12 marks also.

If you are from Jodhpur, you can apply under the Rajasthan state quota. Make sure you meet the eligibility criteria and apply on time.

Hope it helps !

Hi dear candidate,

Yes, it is possible to do degree in AI and Data Science without a JEE Mains score as the IIT Jodhpur's BSc or BS in AI & DS does not require a JEE score as admission is based on your 12th class performance.
