Hello Prabaharsm,

With 128 marks in JEE Advanced 2024 in the Open Category , your estimated rank might fall between 12,000 to 15,000 (exact ranks vary based on exam difficulty and competition). Here’s a guide to help you select the right college and course based on this performance:

1. Understanding Your Options:

• Top IITs: Securing core branches like Computer Science or Electronics at top IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Madras, Kanpur, etc.) may not be possible with this rank.
  
  
• Mid/Lower-Tier IITs: You can still aim for good branches at newer or mid-tier IITs.
  
  
• IITs to Target:
  • IIT Bhubaneswar
  • IIT Jodhpur
  • IIT Ropar
  • IIT Mandi
  • IIT Dharwad
  • IIT Dhanbad (ISM)
    
    2. Branches You Can Get:
    
    

• At this rank, you might not get high-demand branches like Computer Science Engineering (CSE) , Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) , or Mechanical Engineering in the older IITs. However, you may secure the following:

  • Metallurgical and Materials Engineering
  • Civil Engineering
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Engineering Physics
  • Environmental Engineering
  • Industrial Engineering
    
    

• At newer IITs, you might get ECE , Electrical , or even Mechanical Engineering depending on availability and competition in counseling.
  
  3. Dual Degree/Integrated Programs:
  
  

• Consider Dual Degree (B.Tech + M.Tech) programs as they sometimes have lower cutoffs compared to pure B.Tech programs. This option could allow you to get into a better branch or college while giving you the added advantage of a master’s degree.
  
  4. Counseling and Preferences:
  
  
• Be Strategic in Counseling: During JoSAA counseling , be sure to:
  
  
  1. Prioritize IITs over NITs/IIITs as IITs carry more long-term value.
     
     
  2. Keep Branch Flexibility: Consider taking a branch you’re less passionate about at a better IIT if you value the institution’s prestige.
     
     
  3. Consider Future Growth: Some lesser-known branches like Engineering Physics or Materials Science can open up opportunities in cutting-edge fields.
     
     5. Backup Options – NITs and IIITs:
     
     
• Top NITs: With a good JEE Advanced score, you can also apply for top NITs through JEE Main ranks, where you may get popular branches like CSE or ECE .
  
  
• NIT Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal, and IIIT Hyderabad are excellent options if you don't get into a preferred IIT.
  
  6. What to Focus On:
  
  
• Course Interest: Always choose a branch that aligns with your interests, as long-term satisfaction comes from working in a field you enjoy.
  
  
• Future Opportunities: Consider branches that have strong future growth prospects, like AI , data science , or automation , even if it means compromising on the college ranking.
  
  Conclusion:
  
  
• Target Mid-Tier IITs for branches like Chemical, Civil, or Metallurgical.
• Consider newer IITs for popular branches like ECE or Mechanical.
• Explore dual degree programs for better branch options.
• Have NITs/IIITs as backups for competitive branches.

Qualifying for JEE  Advanced with 90 marks depends on the year's cutoff ,which varies.Generally ,for SC candidates,recent cutoffs have ranged from about 80-90 marks ,though this fluctuates yearly. If the 2024 cutoff aligns with these trends,90 marks maybe enough to qualify, but it's best to verify with the official results.

Hi

hope you are doing well

The qualifying cutoff for the OBC-NCL category in JEE Advanced typically ranges from 60-70 marks depending on the difficulty of the exam and the year.

With 33 marks in JEE Advanced as an OBC-NCL candidate, it is highly unlikely to secure a seat in any of the IITs. The minimum qualifying marks (also known as the cutoff) for the OBC-NCL category in JEE Advanced tend to be significantly higher.

I would suggest you to explore other options like NITs, IIITs, or state-level engineering colleges based on your JEE Mains score.

Hello student,

In JEE Advanced, qualifying marks can vary each year based on several factors, including the difficulty level of the exam and overall candidate performance. However, to give you a general idea:

1. Past Trends : In recent years, the qualifying cutoff for JEE Advanced has typically ranged from about 70 to 100 marks for General category candidates. For OBC, SC, and ST categories, the cutoff tends to be lower.
   
   

2. Expected Cutoff for 2024 : While it's difficult to predict the exact cutoff for 2024, scoring 90 marks might place you in a competitive position, particularly if the exam is of moderate difficulty.
   
   

3. Additional Factors : Your chances of qualifying also depend on your category (General, OBC, SC, ST) and how your score compares to others.
   
   

4. Official Cutoffs : The final qualifying marks will be announced by the exam conducting body (IITs) after the results are declared.

To maximize your chances, focus on performing well in all subjects and understanding the exam pattern thoroughly.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

With your Class 12 marks of 90% and JEE Main rank of 345,000, you may face challenges getting admission into top IPU colleges, as most of them have higher cutoffs. However, as a Sikh minority candidate, you may have an advantage in some colleges that reserve seats for minority communities. You can still apply, especially to less competitive programs or colleges within IPU. It's advisable to check IPU's specific eligibility criteria and cutoffs for better clarity.

Dear

According to the information with 64% in cbse and 242251 rank its almost impossible to clear the jee advance cutoff until you belong to any reserved category. Yes, you can get admission in govt. college where your 12th criteria meet.

You can use College predictor to find the best college for you.

Thanks.

Hello,

If you have taken a CBSE improvement exam and there is no explicit option to indicate this on the JEE Advanced application form, you should proceed by entering the details of your original CBSE board exam, including the year of passing and marks obtained. Alongside the application, you may need to submit supporting documents, such as a copy of your admit card or mark sheet indicating your appearance for the improvement exam. In case of any uncertainty or if you require further clarification, it's advisable to contact the JEE Advanced exam authorities directly

Hope this helps,

Thank you

Yes, if you got 60% in CBSE board, you can appear for improvement exams in all subjects next year. If you improve your marks and meet the eligibility (75% overall or top 20 percentile in your board), you can give JEE Advanced again—but only if it's your second attempt and you appeared for JEE Main the same year. JEE Advanced allows only two attempts in two consecutive years after Class 12. So yes, it's possible—just plan carefully and study well!

Dear

According to the information you get 60% in 12th. Yes, you can jee advance exam after the improvement exam even you can also be able to give this time.

Jee exams do need any criteria to write the exam that is only needed at the time of admission.

Thanks.

Dear

According to the information yes, you can definitely go with the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) to complete your Class 12th. NIOS is a recognized board and is considered equivalent to other boards like CBSE. Many students choose NIOS for various reasons, and it won't create any issues related to JEE Advanced eligibility.

You can enroll in NIOS for your Class 12th. They offer flexibility in terms of exam schedules and subjects.

Once you successfully pass your NIOS Class 12th exams, you will be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced, provided you meet all other eligibility criteria.

Thanks.
