Hello there,

With an 82.63 percentile in JEE Mains 2025 under the OBC-NCL category, you are not eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2025 .

Eligibility Criteria for JEE Advanced 2025

To qualify for JEE Advanced, candidates must be among the top 2,50,000 performers in JEE Mains. The distribution is as follows:

• OBC-NCL : 27% of 2,50,000 = 67,500 candidates

Your percentile of 82.63 suggests that your rank is beyond the cutoff for the OBC-NCL category. Therefore, you are not among the top 67,500 candidates in your category and thus do not qualify for JEE Advanced.

Next Steps

• Focus on NITs and IIITs : With your percentile, you can aim for admission to NITs and IIITs through JoSAA counseling .
  
  

• Consider State Engineering Colleges : Explore admission opportunities in state government engineering colleges .
  
  

• Explore Private Universities : Institutions like VIT Vellore , SRM Chennai , and Manipal University may also be viable options.
