The closing ranks for JEE Main vary by branch and category. For instance, in 2023, the closing rank for Computer Science and Engineering was 4,618, while for OBC candidates, it ranged between 1,463 and 7,937, and for SC candidates, between 15,675 and 36,289.

It's important to note that PES University primarily fills its seats through PESSAT, and only a limited number of seats are available via JEE Main. Therefore, competition is high, and securing admission through JEE Main requires a strong rank.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's recommended to consult the official PES University admissions portal or contact their admissions office directly.

Hello there,

Yes, if you got 61 percentile in JEE Mains, you may be eligible to apply under B-Category counselling in some private engineering colleges or deemed universities.

Key points to note:

1. B-Category seats are usually filled through JEE Mains score but do not have a high cutoff like NITs or IITs.

2. Colleges offering B-Category admissions mostly focus on:

   • Availability of seats

   • JEE percentile (minimum required varies by college)

   • State rules and college reputation

At 61 percentile, you might not get top branches like CSE or ECE in top private colleges, but you can get options in other branches or in mid-level institutions.

You should directly check with the colleges you're interested in, as B-Category admission rules and cutoffs vary from college to college.

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

Dear Candidate ,
Unfortunately, the qualifying percentile for the SC category this year is around 61.15 , which means you did not clear the cutoff for JEE Advanced and are not eligible for admission into NITs , IIITs, or GFTIs through JoSAA counseling .

Dear Candidate ,
Best Counseling Options
-JoSAA - chance for lower NIT/IIIT in ECE , EE , ME .
-State counseling - prefer your home state quota (like UPSEE , MHT , CET , MP DTE )
-Private Colleges - Apply to VIT , SRM , Shiv Nadar , UPES .

Dear Candidate ,
With a JEE Main Rank of 251,208 admission to B. Tech Food Technology at NIFTEM Thanjavur is not possible , as their closing rank is around 95,000. Consider Karnataka state counseling ( KEA ) for other colleges or private colleges accepting your rank .

If you are female and scored 20,799 in JEE Main 2025, you have an equal opportunity to get into Computer Science Engineering (CSE) or Artificial Intelligence (AI) at several IIITs. If you look at previous years' closing ranks, these IIITs have placement opportunities that won’t require extremely high ranks:

There are around 20,000 women applicants for CSE at Industrial Institute of Information Technology in Guwahati which suggests a bright chance for all of them.

The number of female candidates accepted in CSE at IIIT Kalyani has been between 33,000 and 34,000 every year.

With nearly 26,000 women registered for CSE 2020 (Round 1), your application for IIIT Una remains in the running.

With female candidates being chosen among students putting in CSE offers, the IIIT Sri City is now a viable option, as it has entered the top 25,000.

For CSE, female applicants have a strong chance, with 19,963 pass rankings.

IIIT Lucknow: Candidates applying for female CSE ranks have ranged from 13,963.

These predicted scores are from earlier years and may not match the real cutoffs this year. It’s important to join all rounds of counseling and look at both branches to have the best chance.
