Joint Entrance Examination (Main)
HEY THERE!!!
Hi Subisa,
With the rank of 38,342 under OBC NCL you have a chance to get into NIT. However, the cut off for popular NIT branches like Warangal and NIT Tiruchirappalli is generally below 12,000 or 10,000 for OBC NCL.
I suggest you to apply for new NIT branches like NIT Goa, NIT Puducherry or NIT Delhi. The newer NITs such as NIT Goa, NIT Puducherry, or NIT Delhi often have higher closing ranks, making them more accessible at your rank. You should also consider less popular branches in some established NITs.
All the best!
Hi Mayank,
Yes, you can appear for JEE exam in 2026 with OBC category, even if you appeared as a general category candidate in 2025.
Please remember the following points:
1) You must issue your OBC certificate on and after 1st April, 2026. Older certificates are not accepted.
2) When you will fill your application for JEE exam 2026, please select category as "OBC" and you may also refer to upcoming JEE brochure for 2026.
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 !
Hi Mridul,
With the JEE score of 13901 your admission in:
1) IIT is very less likely as the cut off for ST category ranges between 1500-2000.
2) NIT is possible but only in newer and less competitive branches like NIT Goa, NIT Srinagar, NIT Sikkim etc. You may also avail home state quota if you belong to the same state where the NIT is situated.
3) You have good chances to get enrolled in a GFTI, as they have lower cutoffs. Few famous GFTI are:
ALL THE BEST!
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!
Hi Yash,
The rank of 5874 in EWS category is good and you genuinely have exposure to some of the good NIT branches especially Electronics & Mechanical Engineering.
Some of the colleges you may consider are:
You may also look for good private colleges like VIT, MIT and BITS.
With a 5874 EWS rank in JEE Advanced, you can expect admission to some of the lower-tier NITs or IIITs based on previous year cutoffs.
You might get branches like Civil, Mechanical, or other core branches in NITs like NIT Jamshedpur, NIT Raipur, or IIIT Hyderabad (if you are lucky). Getting into top NITs or IITs is unlikely with this rank.
