Hello aspirant,

Congratulations on your performance in both JEE Main and JEE Advanced. With a JEE Main rank of around 11,200, you stand a decent chance of getting branches like CSE (in newer IIITs), ECE, Mechanical, or related streams in NITs such as NIT Calicut, NIT Nagpur, and NIT Rourkela, depending on your category and home state. Your JEE Advanced rank of 8,700 may fetch you seats in some of the newer IITs or less core branches in older ones like IIT BHU or IIT ISM Dhanbad.

If you're unsure about which college or branch to choose, it’s a good idea to first make a list of your priorities—like your preferred branch, location, research or placement focus—and then look at previous year cutoffs for those colleges. You can also use college predictors based on your rank to get a clearer idea of your options.

Hope this helps you take the next step confidently. All the best for your counselling and future journey.

dear student,

At an SC rank of 4276 in JEE Advanced , getting into older IITs (like Bombay, Delhi, Madras, Kanpur) isn’t possible — even for less popular branches, these usually close below SC rank 2000–2500.

But you still have good chances in newer IITs and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad , especially for core branches like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical , and a few interdisciplinary programs.
like:

• IIT Bhilai – Civil, Mechanical, Electrical

• IIT Jammu – Civil, Mechanical, Chemical

• IIT Dharwad – Civil, Mechanical

• IIT Goa – Mechanical, possibly Civil in later rounds

• IIT Palakkad / Tirupati – Civil, Mechanical

• IIT ISM Dhanbad – Mining, Petroleum, Environmental, Civil, Interdisciplinary

• IIT Jodhpur – Sometimes Civil or lesser opted branches

These options mostly open up in later JoSAA rounds , and availability may vary slightly year to year.

Hi aspirant,

For a JEE Advance rank of 5,000 or between 5,000 and 10,000, candidates can consider IITs like,

• IIT Mandi - Electrical engineering
• IIT Ropar - Mechanical Engineering
• IIT Hyderabad - Engineering Science
• IIT Tirupati - CSE
• IIT Hyderabad - Engineering Physics
• IIT Bombay - Chemistry (B. Sc)
• IIT Guwahati - Chemical Engineering
• IIT BHU Varanasi - Civil Engineering
• IIT Delhi - Textile Technology
• IIT Kanpur - Bioengineering
• IIT Gandhinagar - Chemical engineering
• IIT Jodhpur - Electrical Engineering
• IIT Hyderabad - Civil Engineering
• IIT Patna - Electrical Engineering
• IIT Palakkad - CSE
• IIT Guwahati - Engineering Physics
• IIT Roorkee - Metallurgical Engineering
• IIT Goa - CSE
• IIT BHU Varanasi - Chemical engineering
• IIT Kharagpur - Biotechnology & Biochemical
• IIT Kharagpur - Mining Engineering
• IIT Kharagpur - Ocean Eng. & Naval Arch.
• IIT Guwahati - Civil Engineering
• IIT Madras - Naval & Ocean Engineering
• IIT Jodhpur - Mechanical Engineering
• IIT Mandi - Mechanical Engineering
• IIT Kanpur - Chemistry (B. Sc)
• IIT Gandhinagar - Civil Engineering
• IIT Jammu - CSE

These are not 100% accurate so you just have chances to get into one of these. You may want to check the cutoffs individually. This is a rough figure for you because at the end it depends on various factors like the cutoffs, no, of candidates and etc. Below mentioned is the link where you can find more details about which colleges you might get under this rank. Kindly refer to it.

I hope this helps.

Hey! That sounds frustrating, but don’t worry — sometimes the result page shows "incorrect data" due to small issues like mismatched details or server glitches.

First, double-check the following:

• Your JEE Advanced roll number is entered exactly as it appears on your admit card.

• Make sure your date of birth format matches what they ask (usually DD-MM-YYYY).

• Enter the mobile number or email ID exactly like you used during registration.

If everything is correct and it’s still not working, it might be a temporary issue with the website. Try clearing your browser cache or using a different device or browser. Sometimes the servers are overloaded right after results are released.

If the issue continues, it’s best to contact the JEE Advanced helpdesk through the official contact details given in your admit card or brochure. They can reset or verify your login.

Hope it gets sorted soon! Good luck!

Oh wow, 15,906 in JEE Advanced, huh? Not bad at all! But yeah, let’s be real—getting CSE or ECE in the old-school IITs? That’s… probably not happening this round. Still, don’t sweat it. There’s a whole bunch of solid options out there, especially in the newer IITs and those hybrid branches nobody ever talks about at family gatherings.

So, what’s on the table? Check these out:

- IIT Bhilai

- IIT Goa

- IIT Jammu

- IIT Dharwad

- IIT Palakkad

- IIT Tirupati

And the branches? You’re looking at stuff like:

- Metallurgical & Materials Engineering (don’t let the name scare you, it’s cooler than it sounds)

- Chemical Engineering

- Civil Engineering

- Engineering Physics

- Environmental Science & Engineering

- Energy Science

- Mechanical in the 5-year dual degree (yeah, it’s long, but you get two degrees, so…)

Speaking of dual degrees, those 5-year B.Tech + M.Tech combos can be a sneaky good move. They boost your placement game since you walk out with a master’s too. Mechanical, Civil, Materials Science—they’re all up for grabs in the newer IITs if you’re not super picky.

And don’t sleep on the interdisciplinary stuff. Some IITs have branches like Engineering Design, or even new-age stuff like Artificial Intelligence or Data Science (if the cutoffs aren’t totally bonkers this year).

One pro-tip: punch your details into the Careers360 JEE Advanced College Predictor. It does the math for you and spits out where you stand based on your category, gender, and whatnot. Way easier than guessing.

If you wanna get super specific, drop your category and gender, and I can help you hunt down the best options. Anyway, good luck at counselling! May the odds (and cutoffs) be ever in your favor. https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-advanced-college-predictor

With a JEE Advanced rank of 20,340, your son can likely get admission in newer IITs like IIT Bhubaneswar, Gandhinagar, Ropar, Mandi, Indore, Patna, or Jodhpur, mostly in less competitive branches.

Top IITs and popular branches like CS or ECE are unlikely.

HEY THERE!!!

1. With a Preparatory ST rank of 228 in JEE Advanced 2025, realistically, your prospects for securing admission to core branches such as Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical Engineering at established IITs are quite slim .
2. Historically, ST category seats for these core disciplines are filled by candidates with much lower ranks, often under 100.
3. Preparatory ranks are only considered if there are vacancies after all eligible ST candidates have been allotted seats, which is uncommon—especially for high-demand branches.
4. Typically, these opportunities arise in newer or less sought-after IITs and in branches that aren’t as competitive.

• In summary, while admission to Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical at the older IITs is highly unlikely with your current preparatory rank, you may find options in non-core branches or at recently established IITs .
• It’s important to keep expectations realistic and consider alternative branches or institutions.

Hello,

With a JEE Advanced rank of 3878 in the female category, your chances of getting Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at an IIT depend on the specific IIT and its previous year cutoffs.

Usually, for general female category (also called female-open or female-general), ECE cutoffs in older IITs like Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, and Madras are quite high, often within the top 2000-3000 ranks.

For your rank around 3878, you might have a chance at newer or mid-tier IITs like IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Patna, IIT Ropar, or IIT Indore, where the ECE cutoff for female candidates has sometimes gone beyond 3500 or 4000 in recent years.

So, based on past trends, Electronics in top older IITs may be tough, but in newer IITs, you have a reasonable chance.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Yes, If you work hard and study regularly, you can definitely crack JEE Main and JEE Advanced.

IIT Madras is tough, but many students from state boards have made it with good preparation. Focus on understanding concepts well, practice lots of questions, and solve previous years’ papers.

Also, try to join a good coaching or online classes if possible. Believe in yourself and stay consistent. You have a good chance!

Hope it helps !
