Hi Athrv!

JEE Main percentile depends on how others perform in your session. Here's a quick estimate:

  • 280+ marks → ~99.9 percentile
  • 220–250 → ~98–99
  • 180–210 → ~95–97
  • Below 120 → usually under 80

Your percentile may vary based on paper difficulty. The official scorecard shows both raw marks and percentile, which you’ll need for JoSAA counseling. For detailed marks vs percentile data and updates, check this : JEE Main Marks vs Percentile careers 360

Thank you!

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, it might be possible to get into VSSUT Burla with 95 percentile in JEE Main, even with 56% in 12th.

VSSUT's B.Tech eligibility typically requires at least 45% marks in 10+2 (40% for reserved categories) with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Your 56% meets this minimum.

Admission is based on your JEE Main rank or OJEE rank. Your 95 percentile is strong and could get you a seat, especially in some branches.

You'll need to participate in the OJEE counselling process. Keep a close watch on the cutoffs during counselling.

Hello Aspirant,

Getting any branch at YMCA Faridabad (JC Bose University) with your 64% JEE Main percentile will be very difficult , especially since you're from outside Haryana.

Cutoffs for good branches at YMCA Faridabad are usually quite high, even for the OBC category. Top branches like Computer Science often require a percentile above 90.

Given your percentile, you might need to look at less popular engineering colleges in other states or some private colleges instead. A 64% percentile makes admission to YMCA unlikely.

64 percentile is too low to get admission in any core branches (like CSE, IT, ECE) through All India or Haryana State Quota. Cutoffs for YMCA Faridabad generally close around 85–90 percentile or higher for OBC category.

You can look for private engineering colleges or state-level counseling options where cutoffs are lower and eligibility is flexible.

Yes, you can score 90 percentile in JEE Mains with 5 months of focused study, even if starting now.

What to do:

  • Target 130–150 marks (not full score).

  • Focus on high-weightage, easy topics:

    • Physics: Kinematics, Work-Energy, Current, Modern Physics

    • Chemistry: Mole Concept, Bonding, Organic Basics, Coordination Compounds

    • Maths: Quadratics, Coordinate Geometry, Trigonometry, Probability

Daily Routine:

  • Study 6–8 hrs/day

  • 2 hrs each subject

  • Weekly mock test

  • Revise and solve past papers


Hii,

If your caste is recognized as OBC only by the state and not by the Central Government, then you cannot claim the OBC quota in central-level exams like JEE. For JEE (Main or Advanced), only those in the Central OBC list are eligible for the OBC-NCL reservation. In your case, you will be considered under the General category.

Now regarding EWS, if your family's annual income is below 8 lakhs, and you meet the other EWS eligibility criteria like not owning large land or a big house, you can apply under the EWS category even if you belong to a state OBC group. But for that, you must get an EWS certificate issued by the competent authority.

Hope this will clear your doubt!

Yeah, with a 54.9 percentile in JEE and being from the SC category, there’s a decent shot at getting into Vignan University, especially if you’re flexible with the branch. They don’t rely only on JEEV-SAT and direct admission routes are open too. You might not get top branches like CSE, but others like Civil or Biotech are likely possible. Just apply early and maybe even reach out to the admissions office they’re usually quite helpful.


With 67 percentile in CET, you can target mid-level Mumbai University colleges like Atharva, Xavier, Vidyalankar, Shah & Anchor, and SFIT. Apply through CAP rounds. JEE score is low, focus on CET for better chances.

Through JoSAA after 6 rounds you will need to register for the CSAB counselling, with the rank of 42911 it is difficult to get any top tier nit or iiit like surathkal etc, but you have chances for newer, lower to middle level nit's and iit's in courses like civil, mechanical, etc.

For VITEEE preparation, there are some good online coaching platforms you can check out. Aakash BYJU’S, Unacademy, Vedantu, and Physics Wallah all offer online courses that cover the VITEEE syllabus. These platforms provide video lectures, mock tests, practice questions, and doubt solving sessions. You can choose the one that suits your learning style and budget.
