Hello there,
With a 74 percentile and 1,38,000 rank in JEE Main, getting a free seat (i.e., full tuition fee waiver or zero fees) in CSE with AI & ML specialization is quite difficult in top NITs, IIITs, or reputed government colleges, especially in the general category.
However, you may have a chance in:
-
Lower-tier private universities or state engineering colleges (especially if your state has tuition fee reimbursement schemes for reserved categories like SC, ST, OBC, EWS, or for girl students).
-
Colleges in states like Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, or Rajasthan where state quota and category reservations may offer subsidized or full fee reimbursement based on eligibility.
If you belong to a reserved category or have applied under fee reimbursement schemes, you might get a seat with minimal or no fees. Please check your state’s counselling portal or mention your category and state for better guidance.
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.
