Hello,

With a rank of 166548 in JEE Mains, it might be difficult to get into NEHU (North Eastern Hill University) or any of the NITs through the regular rounds. However, you still have a chance in the CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) rounds, especially if you belong to a reserved category or if some seats remain vacant after the main counselling rounds.

In CSAB rounds, you might get a seat in some NITs or other government colleges, but the chances are low for high-demand branches like Computer Science or Electronics.

It's best to keep checking the CSAB counseling updates and be ready to accept any available options if they align with your preferences and location.

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

Hope it helps !

1. CSE (Computer Science Engineering):

• Chances : Slim, typically cutoff around 2000–4000 for SC category. May be possible in later counselling rounds.

Hello,

For JEE Advanced, the eligibility depends on your JEE Main percentile and category rank. Generally, candidates need to be in the top 2.5 lakh candidates (across all categories) to qualify for JEE Advanced. The exact cutoff for OBC (Other Backward Classes) candidates will depend on the overall rank and the category-specific cutoff.

Since you scored 74 percentile in JEE Mains, it’s unlikely that you'll qualify for JEE Advanced, as the cutoff is typically much higher.

Hope it helps !
