Top Engineering Colleges in India With Median Salary- Every year, MoE devises the NIRF ranks for top Indian colleges based on several factors including the placement statistics. Based on the 2024 ranking, IIT Madras, IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur and IIT Kharagpur are top 5 engineering colleges in India. They also provide some of the best placements of all. However, due to the global economic slowdown, most of the top colleges in India reported lower-than-usual median salaries in 2024. Whereas in 2023, the median salary at top engineering colleges in India ranged between Rs 30.30 Lakhs per annum to Rs 4 Lakhs per annum.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has directed all affiliated schools to provide Class 11 registration data to NTA. The step is intended to help avoid scheduling overlaps between the JEE Main 2026 and CBSE Class 12 board exams, ensuring that students do not face any exam date conflicts.

Hello,
 JEE Main ke 75% eligibility ke liye marks calculation board ke total marks (as printed on marksheet) par based hoti hai, best of 5 nahi.
 
 Agar aapke marksheet me total 355/500 likha hai, to wahi valid mana jayega.
 
 Isliye agar ye 75% se kam hai, to aap JEE Main de sakte ho, par NIT, IIIT, ya GFTI admission ke liye eligible nahi hoge, unless aap SC/ST category se ho (unke liye 65% required hai).
Hope you understand.
