Hi dear candidate,

With the percentile between 70 and 80, your JEE rank should fall between 2,50,000 to 3,00,000 which might be challenging for getting a college with CSE branch as it is very competitive and requires much lower rank.

However, there are potential good private colleges like PCCOE, BVIMR, DY Patil Institute etc. for you to consider.

Talking about MIT WPU then the minimum percentage for 12th board BTech is 50% but the percentile for CSE branch at MIT WPU is at least 90% so you should try other branches like ECE, EEE, Mechanical etc.

Hello Prasad

Yes, OBC validity is required for JEE Mains and JEE Advance 2026 exams.

For them, you will need to produce an OBC-NCL certificate issued on or after 1st April of the admission year (which is 2026 in this case so on or after 1st April 2026).

Without that, you will be treated as a General category candidate.

Hello

Your NFAT marks of 42.75 is low if you apply in General Category and it is borderline for Ward of Ex Serviceman.

Your JEE MAINS marks doesn't matter for admission in NFSU main things is the NFAT score.

So there is some chance of you getting NFSU through Ward of Ex Serviceman thought even for that a student generally needs 45-50 marks.

So hope for the best and stay positive. Thank You!!!

Hi,

With a rank of 5.3 lakh in JEE Mains, getting a mechanical seat in PMEC Berhampur through normal OJEE counselling is very difficult, especially if you're an out-of-state candidate. OJEE mostly reserves seats for Odisha state students in the earlier rounds, and only a few institutional spot rounds might consider others.

However, if the college has vacant seats in September’s spot/institutional round, and they allow direct admission based on vacant quota, there’s a chance you could be considered. The issue is many Odisha colleges do not allow out-of-state students unless stated clearly by OJEE.

For more information you can check this link:

You can also consider other private colleges in nearby states that may accept your score.

Thank you!

Hello

For B Category admission at VNRVJIET through JEE Mains 2025, the cutoff rank is as follows:

1. Computer Science and Engineering (CSE): Under 1,00,000
2. Other departments: 1,20,000 - 1,50,000

So you will need under 1,00,000 rank for CSE and for other departments around 1,50,000.

Hope this answer helps! Thank You!!!

Hello!

So based on your rank 5000 in JEE Mains and you are from Punjab you have some chances of getting NITJ  branches like mechanical civil, chemical or biotechnology but in the later rounds as SC category seats also closed early.

As  your SC rank is around 5000 your CRL can be anywhere between 1,20,000 to 1,60,000, depending on your marks.
