Hello Radha ,

I hope you are doing well. As per your mentioned query, yes jee advanced is mandatory for AAT exam. Only the qualifiers of JEE advanced can attempt the Architecture Aptitude Test.

To know more , refer this :

Good luck!

As of May 2025, the candidate who secured the All India Rank (AIR) 47 in the JEE Main 2025 Paper 2 (for B.Arch and B.Planning) is Arghadeep Deb from Tripura. He achieved a remarkable NTA score of 99.9808.

Hello Vishal,

With 70 percentile in JEE Mains and OBC category, your approximate CRL rank would be around 2.5 to 3 lakh , and your OBC rank might fall between 80,000 to 1,00,000 (this can vary slightly). Based on this, getting admission into top NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs for core branches like CSE or ECE is difficult, but you still have some decent options:

You can prefer the following types of colleges:

  • State Government Engineering Colleges

    • Many states like Rajasthan, Maharashtra, MP, UP, and Haryana accept JEE Main scores for their counselling (like MP DTE, Haryana HSTES, etc.). You have better chances in your home state quota .

  • Private Colleges with Good Reputation

    • Consider reputed private universities that accept JEE scores:

      • VIT (though it conducts VITEEE)

      • Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham

      • SRM Institute of Science and Technology

      • Shiv Nadar University

      • UPES Dehradun

      • LNCT Bhopal

      • Galgotias University

  • Colleges under CSAB Special Round

    • Participate in CSAB special round after JoSAA; sometimes lower-rank students get seats in GFTIs or lesser-known NIT branches (like Civil, Metallurgy, or Biotechnology).

  • State-Level Counselling Based on JEE Score

    • If your state accepts JEE score for B.Tech admissions, you may get a seat in a government college using your category rank .

      Tips:

  • Choose colleges where you get a full-time B.Tech degree and decent placement records.

  • Consider branches other than CSE if you're open to other options like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, etc.

  • Be ready to appear for spot rounds or management quota seats in private colleges if needed.


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.

Scoring 66 percentile in JEE Mains means you are eligible for some private and state-level engineering colleges in Uttar Pradesh (UP), but admission to top government colleges like NITs, IIITs, or top state engineering colleges may be difficult.

Possible Engineering Colleges in UP for 66 Percentile in JEE Mains

Here are some options where you might get admission based on your percentile:

1. Private Engineering Colleges (Through JEE Mains)

  • SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Ghaziabad

  • KIET Group of Institutions, Ghaziabad

  • JSS Academy of Technical Education, Noida

  • Galgotias College of Engineering & Technology, Greater Noida

  • IMS Engineering College, Ghaziabad

  • Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad (AKGEC)

  • Harcourt Butler Technical University (HBTU) Kanpur (if seats remain vacant)

  • Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) affiliated colleges (Many private colleges under AKTU accept lower percentiles)

Dear Candidate ,
Your cousin , with 93 % in Tamil Nadu state Board and a 51 percentile in JEE Main , has a a fair chance of getting admission to the ECE branch at SASTRA university under stream 2 . Stream 2 admissions are based solely on class 12 board marks , and since she has a strong academic percentage, she stands a reasonable chance , especially for ECE , which is generally slightly less competitive than CSE . While stream 1 is more competitive due to inclusion of JEE scores ,  her JEE percentile is not high enough to secure admission through that route .
