Joint Entrance Examination (Main)
Hello there,
With an 80 percentile score in JEE Main, you can get admission in many good engineering colleges, though top IITs and NITs may be difficult to access. Here are options and tips:
Some NITs like NIT Raipur, NIT Goa, and NIT Meghalaya may offer seats in branches like Mechanical, Electrical, and Computer Science.
IIITs such as IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Gwalior, and IIIT Una may consider this percentile for courses in IT and Computer Science.
Several private universities like KIIT Bhubaneswar, VIT Vellore, and Amity University Noida accept students with around 80 percentile.
State government colleges like PEC Chandigarh, COEP Pune, and IET Lucknow could be options.
Private colleges with management quota seats also admit students with this percentile, often with higher fees.
When choosing a college:
Check if the college offers your preferred engineering branch.
Consider placement records and infrastructure.
Look at faculty qualifications.
Think about the location and connectivity.
Admission usually happens through counseling like JoSAA for NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, or through the university’s own process for private colleges.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

If your son is an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card holder, and has been studying in India since Class 6, he can take both the JEE Main and JEE Advanced. If he has completed his 10+2 education in India, he can also apply for admission for IITs. Based on current guidelines:
Recommendation: If your child does not qualify as a reserved category and is qualified to be an Indian citizen the General category is usually a good option. Just remember to look at the current JEEs brochure each year, since rules do change.
With a 92 percentile in JEE Mains, you have a decent chance of getting into a non-CSE branch at Amrita Coimbatore, but it may be challenging to secure a seat in CSE or other highly competitive fields. To get into the top branches like CSE, you'll typically need 97-99 or more than 99 percentile.

Hello Lalitha,
With an OBC rank of around 94,000 in JEE Mains, getting admission into top NITs or IIITs for popular branches might be difficult, but you can consider some other government and private engineering colleges where admission is possible. Here are a few types of colleges you can explore:
State Government Engineering Colleges : Many states have their own quota and counseling where you may get admission in branches like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, or Computer Science depending on cut-offs.
Private Universities and Deemed Universities : Institutions such as Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Amity University, and Shobhit University often have management quota or lower cut-off ranks for OBC candidates.
Other Central and State-Funded Colleges : Some lesser-known NITs, government-funded technical institutes, and state universities might offer seats for your rank in certain branches.
Specialized or New IITs and NITs : Sometimes newer or less popular branches or campuses of NITs and IIITs have lower cut-offs, so keep an eye on counseling rounds.
For better chances, you may also look into private universities that offer quality education in engineering but have flexible admission criteria for OBC candidates with ranks around 90,000+. It’s important to participate in the counseling process fully and explore state and central counseling options.
Keep in mind, branch preference and location flexibility can increase your chances significantly.

With a 76 percentile in JEE Main as an SC category student, getting a seat in an NIT is possible but depends on several factors:
Your All India Rank (AIR) corresponding to that percentile matters, as admissions are based on rank and category.
Generally, for SC category, the closing ranks for some NITs can go higher compared to the general category, improving your chances.
However, a 76 percentile roughly corresponds to a rank that might be on the higher side, so chances in top NITs could be limited.
You may get admission in NITs with lower cutoffs or in newer or less sought-after branches and campuses.
Also, ensure you meet the eligibility criteria, such as minimum board marks (usually 75% or top 20 percentile).
It is advisable to check the previous years’ closing ranks for SC candidates in NITs and consider counselling rounds carefully. You may also explore other government or private engineering colleges accepting JEE Main scores for reserved categories.
Dear Candidate, Yes , with 90.62 percentile in JEE Main , your son is eligible for JoSAA counselling .
Dear Candidate , With a JEE Main 2025 EWS female rank of 30,065 and 86 percentile , admission chances in NITs , IIITs , or GFTIs are very limited , as their closing ranks for EWS category are generally much lower ( usually under 10,000 - 15,000 ) .
