To secure a seat in an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) through JEE Advanced, you need to fulfill a set of conditions that cover your performance in JEE Main, your academic background, and other criteria. Here's a breakdown of the key conditions:

First and foremost, you must qualify in JEE Main and be among the top 250,000 candidates (including all categories) who clear Paper 1 of JEE Main. This is the primary filter to be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced.

Secondly, there are criteria related to your Class 12 (or equivalent) examination . You must have passed this examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects. Additionally, you need to either secure at least 75% aggregate marks in the qualifying examination (65% for SC, ST, and PwD candidates) or be within the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in your respective Class 12 board examination.

Regarding the number of attempts , a candidate can appear for JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in two consecutive years. For JEE Advanced 2025, candidates must have appeared for their Class 12 (or equivalent) examination for the first time in either 2024 or 2025. Those who appeared for the first time in 2023 or earlier are generally not eligible.

There is also an age limit . Candidates should have been born on or after October 1, 2000. However, there is a five-year age relaxation for SC, ST, and PwD candidates, meaning they should have been born on or after October 1, 1995.

Finally, candidates who have already been admitted to an IIT under any academic program in previous years (through JoSAA) are generally not eligible to appear for JEE Advanced again. However, there are some exceptions for those who were admitted to a preparatory course or whose admission was cancelled before the final round of seat allotment.

In simple terms, to get into an IIT through JEE Advanced, you need to perform well enough in JEE Main to be eligible, pass your Class 12 with good marks (or be a top performer in your board), be within the allowed number of attempts and age limit, and not have already taken admission in an IIT previously. Make sure to check the official JEE Advanced website for the most up-to-date and detailed eligibility criteria.

Hello,

With your CRL rank of 230,902 and OBC-NCL rank of 79,675, you might get admission to some colleges. Here are a few options:

1. NIT Andhra Pradesh : Biotechnology, Metallurgical Engineering.

2. IIIT Chittoor : Electrical Engineering, possibly some branches of Computer Science.

3. Government Engineering Colleges in Andhra Pradesh : Andhra University, JNTU Kakinada, JNTU Hyderabad.

4. Other GFTIs : Assam University, Tezpur University, Central University of Rajasthan.

Check JoSAA counselling and consider AP EAMCET for better chances of admission.

You can also use our JEE Main College Predictor tool to predict which college you can get based on your scores.

Hope it helps !

With a CRL rank of 49,000 and an EWS rank of 6,786, getting admission to DTU and NSUT through JAC Delhi is unlikely for top branches like CSE, IT, or ECE. You may have better chances in lower branches or other colleges under JAC Delhi. Consider exploring other options as well.

With a JEE Mains SC category rank of 19,579 and a CRL rank of 321,697, securing a seat in top NITs or IIITs might be challenging. However, you may have a chance in some newer or lower-ranked institutes, depending on their cutoff trends. Your percentile of 79 supports this.

With 74.19 percentile in JEE Main 2025, here are some good B.Tech CSE colleges in Delhi NCR you can consider:

1. Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) – 64.6K total fees

2. GGSIPU Colleges (like ADGITM, BVCOE, MSIT) – 4.5–6.5 lakhs

3. Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women (IGDTUW) – 5.2 lakhs (for girls only)

4. GNIOT, Greater Noida – 1.4 lakhs/year

Apply through JoSAA, IPU CET, or direct admissions where eligible

Based on Bennett University's 2024 JEE Main cutoffs, admission to B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) requires high percentiles. For CSE, a JEE Main percentile of 90 or above is typically needed, while AI programs may require a percentile of 85 or higher. With a 51% score, admission to these programs is unlikely. However, other engineering branches like Electronics & Communication Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Biotechnology have lower cutoff requirements, often accepting percentiles around 60 or even lower. Additionally, non-engineering courses such as BBA, BCA, and BA Journalism consider Class 12 scores and may offer alternative admission pathways. It's advisable to explore these options to align with your academic profile and avoid unnecessary expenses

With a JEE Main percentile of 92.2666, you have a strong chance of securing admission in the Mechanical Engineering branch at several NITs, particularly those categorized as Tier-2 and Tier-3 institutions.

Based on the 2024 data, the expected cutoff percentiles for Mechanical Engineering are as follows:

• Tier-1 NITs : 97–98 percentile

• Tier-2 NITs : 94–95 percentile

• Tier-3 NITs : 80–85 percentile

Given your percentile, you are well-positioned for admission into Tier-2 and Tier-3 NITs. For instance, NIT Jalandhar had closing ranks for Mechanical Engineering around 44,615 in the open category .

Please note that actual cutoffs can vary based on factors such as category, home state quota, and seat availability. It's advisable to participate in all rounds of JoSAA counselling to maximize your chances of admission.

You cannot change your category from OBC (State) to General EWS during JoSAA counseling if your category is not listed in the central OBC list. Your category will be considered based on the documents provided during the JEE Advanced application process.
