OBC Qualifying Marks for JEE Mains 2025 - Cutoff and Eligibility Criteria

Hello there,

With 44,000 OBC rank in JEE Mains, getting a free (zero tuition fee) seat in top NITs or IIITs is tough, especially for popular branches like CSE, ECE, or IT.

However, you may still get lower-demand branches like Civil, Mechanical, Metallurgy, or Production in newer NITs like NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Sikkim, or NIT Puducherry. Some IIITs like IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Una, or IIIT Kottayam may also offer seats in lesser-demand branches.

Also, tuition fee waivers for OBC students depend on your family income (if it’s below Rs. 1 lakh per year, full waiver; between Rs. 1-5 lakh, 2/3rd waiver).

Apply through JoSAA counselling and fill maximum choices to increase your chances.

Hello Niyati,

With a 314286 rank in JEE Mains 2025 , it will be difficult to get top government colleges in Delhi like DTU, NSUT, IIIT-D, or IGDTUW through JAC Delhi counselling.

However, you can try for admission in private colleges in Delhi NCR such as:

1. Amity University, Noida

2. GNIOT, Greater Noida

3. Galgotias University, Greater Noida

4. Sharda University, Greater Noida

5. Manav Rachna International Institute, Faridabad

These colleges offer direct admission or admission with low JEE Main ranks. You can also apply for spot rounds or management quota seats.

If you prefer government colleges, you can look for other states' counselling where vacant seats are filled with lower ranks.

Hello there,

With a JEE Mains percentile of 92.55 and an OBC NCL rank of 35,798 , your chances of securing a seat in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) in the following institutions depend on various factors like the number of seats, category rank, and previous year's cutoffs:

1. NITs (National Institutes of Technology)

• Cutoff Range for CSE : For NITs, the cutoff for CSE typically ranges from around 10,000 to 40,000 in the general category, but this may vary depending on the institution and state.
  
  

• Chances : You may have a chance at NITs in lesser-known or newer NITs in states with lower demand for CSE, especially if you opt for home state quota.
  
  2. Government IITs

• Cutoff Range for CSE : The cutoffs for IITs are generally much higher, often in the 500-1,500 range in the open category for CSE.
  
  

• Chances : It’s very unlikely that you will get CSE in any of the older or established IITs with a 35,798 rank.
  
  3. GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes)

• Cutoff Range for CSE : For GFTIs, the cutoff for CSE is generally 30,000 to 45,000 for OBC NCL category in some institutes.
  
  

• Chances : You may have a chance in some of the GFTIs for CSE, as these institutes have relatively higher cutoff ranks compared to IITs and NITs.
  
  4. Other Good Institutes

• Private Institutes : Institutes like SRM , VIT , and Bennett University offer CSE in their B.Tech programs, though their admission is typically through entrance exams specific to the institute.
  
  

• Chances : You will likely have good chances of admission into private engineering colleges that offer good placement support and infrastructure.
  
  Summary

• NITs : Possible in lesser-known ones, especially through home state quota.

• IITs : Unlikely for CSE due to high cutoff.

• GFTIs : Moderate chances for CSE.

• Private Institutes : Good chances for admission.

For better chances, consider opting for branches like IT or Electronics in NITs or GFTIs, as CSE may be more competitive.
