JEE Main 2024 Paper: Memory-Based Questions and Analysis of 5th April Morning Shift

BIT Durg – CSE with 89 Percentile (JEE Main 2025)

General Category: CSE unlikely (cutoff ~95%ile).

State Quota / EWS / OBC: Possible in later rounds.

Management Quota: Yes, CSE possible (direct admission with higher fees).

Tip: Apply through state counselling & keep backup private colleges

To get a 20,000 rank in JEE Main, here’s the approximate percentile you need based on past trends:

Target Percentile:

General Category: Around 97.5 to 98.0 percentile

OBC/EWS: You may get this rank at a slightly lower percentile (around 95.5–96.5) due to reservation.

SC/ST: Rank varies significantly, but 90–93 percentile might be enough for 20,000 category rank (not common rank).

To secure about 15,000 rank in JEE Main, you generally need to score 150 to 160 marks out of 300. This range can vary slightly depending on the exam's difficulty and normalization. For reserved categories, the required marks might be a bit lower.

Hey there! yes, based on your academic performance, you have a good chance of securing a seat in Mechanical seat at Sastra University. Sastra University offers B.Tech admissions through 2 strems;

• Stream 1: 70% of the seats are allocated based on a combination of JEE Mains score ( 25%) and class 12 (75%).
• Stream 2: 30% of seats are filled based solely on Class 12 ( IPE) marks.

Given your 976 makrs and 70% in JEE Main, your high IPE marks position you well for stream 2 admissions. While a 70% score is moderate, when combined with your excellent IPE Marks, it enhances your chances in Stream1.

Hello,

Yes, even if you fail in the preparatory course, you can still write JEE next year. The preparatory course is only for reserved category students (like SC/ST/PwD) who didn't qualify for the regular IIT admission but were given a chance through the preparatory course.

Failing in it will not stop you from writing JEE Main or JEE Advanced again next year, as long as you meet the age limit and attempt limit.

Hope it helps !

Congrats on your PREP ST rank 228 in JEE Advanced 2025! With such a good rank in the preparatory category, you have a strong chance to get a preparatory course seat in IITs. The preparatory course helps you join core branches like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, or Computer Science after one year based on your performance. IITs like IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, or IIT Roorkee may offer you a seat. Stay confident and apply carefully during counseling!

Hello! Scoring 79 marks in JEE Advanced is a good effort, but qualifying depends on the category and the cutoff for that year. Usually, the cutoff marks vary for different categories like General, OBC, SC, ST, etc. If your son belongs to a reserved category, he might qualify. It’s best to check the official JEE Advanced cutoff list for 2025 on the official website to confirm. Keep supporting him, and good luck!

Hello,

If your domicile certificate is from Rajasthan, your school in Gujarat might ask for proof of local residence too, because usually schools prefer the domicile of the state where the school is located . But it depends on the school’s rules, so you should check with them directly.

For the state board exams, generally you need to follow the board of the state where you are studying. So if you are enrolled in a Gujarat board school, they will follow Gujarat’s rules, not Rajasthan’s domicile.

For JEE (Joint Entrance Exam) , your domicile doesn’t usually affect your eligibility to appear in the exam itself, as JEE is a national exam. However, for state quota seats in colleges, domicile can matter. So if you have a Rajasthan domicile, you might be considered for Rajasthan state quota seats, not Gujarat’s.

Hope it helps !
