JEE Main 2025 - Marks vs Percentile vs Rank

Hello Aspirant,

Based on your details with EWS rank of 48,000 and 77 percentile as a female candidate, Your seat as home state quota for NIT Andhra Pradesh, I want to clarify one thing:

The closing rank of 74,000 you said for Civil Engineering at NIT AP is for the Common Rank List (CRL) and not EWS category. JoSAA usually provides closing ranks by category (Home State/Other State, and Female/Non-Female), so the EWS closing ranks would be in the EWS specific closing ranks under the category for Female, Home State.  With the EWS rank of 48,000, you will probably not get a seat into Civil Engineering at NIT AP because the EWS closing ranks for Civil engineering under the home state quota last year are usually much lower (usually under 3,000-5,000 EWS rank).

Hello Swetha,

Yes, you're eligible for JEE Main 2026 & BITSAT 2026 with your 2025 Board improvement exam marks.

JEE Main: Your 2025 marks count for eligibility. These improved marks will be used for the 75% criteria for NIT/IIT admissions.

BITSAT: Your 2025 improved marks are accepted. Ensure they meet the 75% aggregate in PCM (or PCB) and 60% individually in each. Your "Pass" status must remain.

Ensure results are available by deadlines.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello Rehan,

With JEE CRL 849581 and OBC NCL 320274, admission to top NITs/IIITs for popular branches is unlikely.

Your best options are:

1. GFTIs: Some GFTIs, especially newer/remote ones, for less competitive branches (e.g., Civil, Biotech, Production, Mining). Check JoSAA/CSAB.
   
   
2. State Government Colleges: Various state engineering colleges in states like UP, MP, Odisha for less popular branches. Check their state-level counseling.
   
   
3. Private Colleges/Universities: Many private institutions accept lower JEE ranks.

Action: Participate in JoSAA/CSAB, research state counseling, and explore private college admissions. Be flexible with branch/location.

I would recommend you to use the JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

• SC Category Rank: 65,896 (Too high for NITs or IIITs)

• Chances in NIT/IIIT: Very low (cutoffs for SC usually close by 30,000–35,000)

• 12th % (92%) is good , but JEE rank is too high.

• Try state-level counselling (based on 12th marks or JEE Main).

• Private colleges (like VIT, SRM, Amrita) are good options.

• You can reappear in JEE Main 2025 Session 2 to improve score.

Use this tool to check possible colleges:

With 65 percentile (EWS) , your CRL rank is likely around 3.5–4 lakh , and EWS rank is also high. Admission in NIT Bhopal (MANIT) is not possible at this percentile.

You have chances in the following colleges under MP State Quota:

• Government Colleges (Low-demand branches)
• Top Private Colleges in MP

1. Apply for MP DTE Counselling – Link (when active) (https://dte.mponline.gov.in)

2. Choose low-competition branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Chemical to improve your chances.

3. Consider private colleges if you're okay with fees and placements.

MP College Predictor (Careers360)

• 73.67 percentile ≈ rank around 2.5–3 lakh (approximate).

• CAP quota does not guarantee special reservation in NITs through JOSAA.

• Admission chances in NITs with this percentile are very low for popular branches .

• Better chance in home state NITs under home quota but still limited.

• Consider lower-demand branches or newer NITs .

• Look for CSAB Special Round and state-level counselling where CAP quota may apply.

• Check GFTIs and IIITs for possible admission.

• Share your category and state for more precise advice.

With a 73.67 percentile in JEE Mains and as a CAP certificate holder (child of armed forces), securing a seat in an NIT is challenging but not impossible. Admission depends on category-wise cutoffs, state quota, and available branches. Keep options open and apply broadly.

Hello! With a 56.97 percentile and category rank of 193 in the General-EWS PWD category, getting CS, IT, or AI branches at top NITs might be challenging. However, you may find good branches in newer or lower-ranked NITs. Keep exploring counseling rounds carefully.

Hello there,

Yes, the person can still get admission in an IIT if they meet the JEE Advanced eligibility criteria and score well enough in the exam.

Key points:

1. Intermediate (Class 12) passing status: Clearing Maths 1B in advanced supplementary means they passed the subject, so the academic eligibility is met.
   
   

2. JEE Advanced marks: Scoring 400+ in JEE Advanced is a good score and can help secure admission depending on the branch and category.
   
   

3. Other eligibility criteria: The candidate must also satisfy age limit, number of attempts, and other rules set by IITs.

So, if all criteria are met and the rank is good, admission to an IIT is possible despite the initial failure in Maths 1B.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
