NIT Jalandhar Seat Matrix 2025 - Check Previous Year Matrix Here

Hello Naveen,

If you marked "12th appearing" by mistake in the JEE Mains form but you already passed 12th and have valid proof like marksheets and certificates, you generally will not face a big issue during college admission.

At the time of admission, colleges mainly check your original documents. If you submit your correct 12th pass certificate and marksheet, they accept it. However, you might be asked to give a written explanation or an affidavit stating that it was a genuine mistake.

It is a good idea to inform the admitting college in advance during counselling or document verification to avoid last-minute confusion.

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.

Congrats on scoring 97.4 percentile in JEE Mains! That's a really good score.

Now let's break it down:

• At 97.4 percentile , your general category (open category) CRL (Common Rank List) would likely be around 25,000 to 30,000 .

• If you belong to EWS, OBC, SC, or ST category, your category rank will be much better, and your chances will increase further.

About getting into NITs :

• For CSE , ECE , IT at top NITs, it might be tough with this rank because those branches close around 10k–15k CRL.

• But for branches like Aerospace Engineering , Mechanical Engineering , Production , Civil Engineering , you have good chances .

For Aerospace Engineering specifically :

• Only a few NITs offer Aerospace, like:

  1. NIT Surathkal (Karnataka) — Aerospace closes around 20,000 CRL (a bit tough, but possible if home state quota applies).

  2. NIT Trichy (Tamil Nadu) — Has Production Engineering but not direct Aerospace.

  3. IIST (Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology) is best for Aerospace, but it takes through JEE Advanced, not Mains.

  4. Other options : Some IIITs, private colleges (like UPES Dehradun, etc.) also offer Aerospace courses through JEE Mains score.

So in short:

• Aerospace seat in NIT — Slightly difficult but possible if you have Home State Quota at a NIT that offers it.

• Otherwise , you can easily get into good NITs with branches like Mechanical, Civil, Production , and later shift to Aerospace specialization during M.Tech or through electives/projects.

Got it — you scored 68 percentile in JEE Mains. Let’s first understand:

• At 68 percentile , your CRL (Common Rank List) rank would be around 3,50,000 to 4,00,000 .

• With this rank, getting into the top NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs is very difficult unless you belong to a reserved category (SC/ST).

Now, based on this score, here are your best options :

1. State Government Colleges

Many state colleges give admission based on JEE Mains score with lower cutoff. You can try:

• AKTU (Uttar Pradesh) through JEE score — like IET Lucknow (low chance) or other government colleges.

• Colleges in Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab — they accept lower JEE scores too.

2. Private Engineering Colleges (very good for backup)

These accept JEE Mains score and your rank is fine for them:

• Shiv Nadar University (Good faculty and placements)

• UPES Dehradun (especially for Aerospace, CS, Energy branches)

• NIIT University Neemrana

• Amity University Noida (CS, IT good)

• Lovely Professional University (LPU)

• VIT (Vellore Institute of Technology) — Not through JEE, but you can apply separately.

• SRM University — through their SRMJEEE exam (or direct admission).

3. Other Good Options

• Some colleges take students through management quota or direct admission even if JEE score is low.

If you want Aerospace branch specifically:

• UPES Dehradun and Amity Noida have decent Aerospace programs.

• Presidency University Bangalore also has B.Tech Aerospace.

Thanks for giving all details clearly. Let’s go step-by-step:

You have:

• JEE Mains Percentile : 62.80

• Overall Rank : 565607

• SC Category Rank : 42187

• Board % : 76.6% (UK Board)

• Domicile : Uttarakhand

• Category : SC

First, Understanding your Chances:

Because you are from SC category and have Uttarakhand domicile , your chances improve a lot in state-level NITs or government colleges .
NIT Uttarakhand and other state colleges reserve a good number of seats for SC category.

About getting CSE or ECE :

• In top NITs (like NIT Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal) , it will not be possible at this rank.

• In NIT Uttarakhand , lower branches (Mechanical, Civil, etc.) may be possible but CSE or ECE is difficult even in SC category.

• In State Government Colleges of Uttarakhand (through UKSEE counseling or direct admission), you can definitely get CSE/ECE .

• Private colleges in Uttarakhand (like Graphic Era University, UPES Dehradun, DIT University) will easily give you CSE or ECE with scholarship based on SC and board marks.

Summary:

• NITs : Very tough for CSE/ECE at this rank, even with SC category.

• State Govt. Colleges (like GBPUAT Pantnagar affiliated colleges) : Good chance for CSE/ECE.

• Private Universities (Graphic Era, DIT, UPES): Easily possible for CSE or ECE.

What you should do next:

• Apply for State counseling (UKSEE) — higher chance to get CSE or ECE in Govt colleges.

• Also apply to private universities (like Graphic Era, DIT) — they are good in Uttarakhand and offer CSE/ECE without needing high JEE ranks.

Given your JEE Mains GMR rank of 415,788 and SC rank of 27,800, it's unlikely you'll get a seat in B.Tech Civil Engineering at Heritage Institute of Technology. Here's why:

- General Category Cutoff: The cutoff rank for Heritage Institute of Technology is typically below 4,000 in JEE, which you're exceeding.

- Scheduled Caste Cutoff: For SC category, the cutoff rank is around 6,740. Your SC rank is 27,800, which is higher than the cutoff.

To increase your chances of getting into Heritage Institute of Technology or other colleges, consider the following options:

- Explore Other Colleges: Look into other colleges that accept JEE Mains scores and have higher cutoffs.

- Check Previous Year Cutoffs: Verify the cutoffs for previous years to get an idea of the competition.

- Use College Predictor Tools: Utilize online tools to predict your chances of getting into specific colleges based on your rank.

Some colleges you might consider exploring:

- RCC Institute of Information Technology

- Academy of Technology
