Hello khushabu

Whether You will be eligible to get a seat in iisc depends upon your jee mains score and cut off iisc jee in 2025.

For general category , the candidate must get around 350 rank in jee mains

Around 17000 rank for ews and obc  category

Around 20000 for obc and ews ( female )

Now a days there has been introduced a New method , iiser aptitude test

The eligibility criteria for getting a seat in iisc , the candidate must obtain minimum 60% marks in class xii.

In physics,  chemistry and mathematics.

10 % seats are reserved for women.

At this score you can go for private colleges, because govt colleges will be tough at this rank.

Even you can try for State counselling where private colleges do comes under that counselling.

To know in detail you can check your chances through our JEE Main College Predictor Tool.

Hello Student ,

As the qualifying  percentile to become eligible for JEE Advanced this year is 79.6757881 for OBC category so according to this you are not eligible.

Thanks

Hello aspirant,

If we look at previous years trends, then having a percentile of 98.6 in JEE Main means you won't be able to get admission to IIIT Bangalore for Integrated MTech in either CSE or ECE. The cutoff of IIT Bangalore go very high and you must me among the top students to get admission there.

Thank you

Hope this information helps you.
