JEE Main 2025 January Session Official question Paper for All Shifts

Hello,

With 986 marks in your Telangana board exams and an 85.04 percentile in JEE Mains, securing a free seat in top B.Tech CSE programs is challenging but possible, especially if you belong to a reserved category. Your percentile may qualify you for certain NITs, such as NIT Agartala and NIT Mizoram, though CSE seats are highly competitive. Exploring reputable private institutions and state engineering colleges in Telangana, which accept JEE Main scores, could also be a viable option.

Yes, with a 68 percentile in JEE Main, you have a good chance of getting admission to Vikram University, Ujjain, for B.Tech courses. The university accepts JEE Main scores, and past trends suggest that candidates with lower percentiles have also secured admission.

With an 80.574669 percentile in JEE Mains 2025 under the EWS category, you're close to qualifying for JEE Advanced. The expected cutoff for EWS category candidates is around 78 percentile ¹. However, to confirm your eligibility, let's break down the key factors:

Eligibility Criteria for JEE Advanced

- Minimum Percentile: 78 percentile for EWS category candidates

- Minimum Rank: Among the top 2,24,000 candidates in JEE Mains, including all categories

- Academic Requirements: Passed +2 with a minimum aggregate of 75% (65% for SC/ST and PwD candidates)

EWS Category Considerations

- Reservation: 10% reservation for EWS category candidates

- Certificate Requirement: You'll need to provide an EWS certificate to avail the reservation benefits

Keep in mind that cutoffs may vary from year to year. Stay updated and focus on your preparation to increase your chances of qualifying for JEE Advanced.

Hello,

With a 96.48 percentile in JEE Main and belonging to the OBC-NCL category, your approximate rank would be around 35,200. This rank may make it challenging to secure a Computer Science Engineering (CSE) seat in top NITs . However, you might have a chance in certain NITs, such as NIT Srinagar, where the closing percentile for CSE has previously been around 96.7 to 96.8.

Additionally, other engineering institutes like IIITs and GFTIs may have CSE seats available for your rank and category. It's advisable to check the specific cutoffs for these institutions.

Hope it helps !

With 81 percentile in JEE Mains and SC category, your chances of getting a free seat (full tuition fee waiver) in an NIT depend on:

1. Home State vs. Other State Quota – You have a better chance in your home state NIT.

2. Cutoff Trends – SC category cutoffs vary by NIT and branch.

3. Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW) – Under government policies, SC/ST students in NITs usually get full tuition fee waivers, but you may still have to pay hostel and other charges.

To confirm your chances, check JoSAA cutoffs for SC category from last year for your preferred NIT and branch.

With 93 percentile in JEE Main, getting CSE at Amrita Coimbatore might be difficult since the cutoff is usually around 95+ percentile.

However, you can still :

Try for other Amrita campuses (Amritapuri, Bengaluru) where cutoffs may be lower.

Apply through Amrita Entrance Exam (AEEE), which has a separate admission process and lower cutoffs.

If CSE at Coimbatore is your priority, you can check the latest cutoffs and consider backup options.

When preparing for the Amrita Entrance Examination - Engineering (AEEE), an "eBook refers to digital study material designed to aid in exam preparation. This can include:

• Digital versions of textbooks:
  • These provide the same content as physical books but in a digital format, accessible on devices like tablets, laptops, or smartphones.
• Study guides:
  • These eBooks often condense essential concepts, provide summaries, and offer practice questions specifically tailored to the AEEE syllabus.
• Sample papers and previous years' question papers:
  • These are crucial for practice and understanding the exam pattern. Many platforms offer these in eBook or downloadable PDF formats.
• Subject-specific eBooks:
  • These may focus on particular areas within Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or English, offering in-depth explanations and targeted practice.

Here's a breakdown of how eBooks are helpful for AEEE preparation:

• Accessibility:
  • eBooks can be accessed anytime, anywhere, making studying more flexible.
• Portability:
  • Carrying digital study material is much easier than carrying multiple heavy textbooks.
• Interactive learning:
  • Some eBooks may include interactive elements like quizzes, videos, and simulations.
• Cost-effectiveness:
  • In some cases, eBooks can be more affordable than physical books.

To find relevant eBooks, you can explore:

• Educational websites and platforms.
• Online bookstores.
• The official Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham website.

Remember to align with the current year of ebook.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Absolutely, I’d be glad to help! Since you're a first-year diploma student and your goal is to join an IIT through JEE , it's important to understand the path clearly.

Here's the reality:

1. IITs & JEE Eligibility for Diploma Holders

Unfortunately, diploma holders are not eligible for admission into IITs via JEE Advanced directly.

• IITs only allow students who have completed Class 12 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics .

• A diploma is not considered equivalent to 12th for JEE Advanced eligibility.

So, you cannot join IIT through the diploma-to-IIT direct route .

But here's what you can do instead :

Option 1: Appear for Class 12 (as a private candidate)

• You can register for Class 12 from a recognized board (like NIOS or state board) with PCM subjects .

• Once you pass 12th with PCM, you become eligible to:

  1. Appear for JEE Main and then JEE Advanced .

  2. Apply for IITs like any other 12th student.

This is the most reliable route for a diploma student aiming for IIT.

Option 2: Lateral Entry into Other Top Colleges (Non-IIT)

If you want to continue with your diploma:

• You can go for LEET exams (Lateral Entry Entrance Tests).

• Through this, you can directly join 2nd year B.Tech in many state universities or NITs , but not in IITs .

Some colleges even have good placements and academics similar to IITs.

Hello,

Thanks for sharing that—it's totally okay to take a step back and plan for a stronger comeback!

Now, regarding BITSAT eligibility and whether you'd be considered a dropper:

BITSAT Eligibility Rules:

As per the latest BITSAT norms (usually consistent year to year):

1. You are eligible for BITSAT only in the year you passed 12th and the following year.

   So if you:

   1. Pass class 12th in 2025 (as a private candidate) → You can appear for BITSAT in 2025 and 2026 only .

   2. You cannot appear for BITSAT in 2027 , as that would be the second year after your 12th .

What counts as “year of passing”?

It’s the year printed on your final Class 12 marksheet , not your original attempt.

So since you plan to repeat and officially pass in 2025 , your valid BITSAT attempts will be:

• BITSAT 2025

• BITSAT 2026

Dropper status?

• BITS doesn't officially use the term "dropper" in eligibility.

• You’ll be treated as a fresh candidate in 2025 , since your Class 12 pass year will be 2025.

Summary:

• Yes , you can appear for BITSAT in 2025 and 2026.

• No , you won’t be eligible for BITSAT 2027.

• Repeating Class 12 as a private candidate is completely valid for both JEE and BITSAT , as long as you meet age and attempt criteria.
