JEE Main 2025 Architecture College Predictor

With 64 percentile and a CRL rank around 5.4 lakh in JEE Mains 2025, getting admission in any NIT or IIIT is very unlikely, especially in the general category. Most NITs close their admissions below a rank of 1.5 lakh, and even the newer NITs usually fill seats by around 3 to 3.5 lakh rank. IIITs generally have closing ranks below 3 lakh.

Instead, you can try for state government engineering colleges through your state counselling or look for private engineering colleges that have lower cutoff ranks. Another option is to explore management quota or direct admission routes if available.

With a JEE B.Arch rank of 30,000, getting admission in DCRUST is not possible because their cutoff ranks are much lower and they mainly consider NATA scores, not JEE Paper 2.

You can try these options instead:

Apply to other colleges accepting NATA scores.

Consider management quota seats in private colleges.

Prepare and appear for NATA exam for better chances.

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.

Hello Hemalakshmi,

No, JEE Mains is not mandatory just because you are a resident of Pondicherry. Nevertheless, if you intend to gain admission into most engineering colleges/ Institutions across India including those in Pondicherry, you will most likely have to take and qualify in JEE Mains or any entrance tests which may be approved by the institution or college as the case may be. Certain colleges might also have their specified entrance criteria or admission by way of state-level entrance exams or management quota, but JEE Mains is the extremely primary national level engineering entrance and is thus widely used.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, to be under Foreign Nationals DASA Counselling 2025, you must have done atleast 2 years of education abroad (outside India) within 8 years to the time of admission. This is a pre-requisite eligibility for acceptance under Foreign Nationals category.

Hello Sumit,

Based on your 66 percentile in JEE Mains 2025, and that you belong to SC category and also have Maharashtra domicile, you have chances in few engineering colleges under Centralized Admission Process (CAP) through MHT CET counselling in Nagpur.

While it is unlikely that you may get the top colleges like VNIT Nagpur with this percentile, you can consider options like:

• GH Raisoni College of Engineering, Nagpur
• Priyadarshini College of Engineering

• JD College of Engineering & Management

• KDK College of Engineering

• Wainganga College of Engineering

A JEE rank of 212399 is not enough to be accepted by top IIITs. A few IIITs have managed to secure places in the top ranks, mainly for a few branches and categories. Let’s look at it step by step¹:

- General Category: Most top IIITs tend to set a minimum cutoff rank from around 100,000 to 150,000. Because your rank is above the grouping, reserving a spot for you becomes more difficult.

- Options to Consider: You may consider some IIITs that closed at higher rankings the previous academic years such as:

Malayalam is taught at IIIT Kottayam.

- B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering: Overall closing rank 7568 (SC category)

Closing rank 7611, B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering is for SC category.

- IIIT Ranchi is also as a good choice.

B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering Hons: Placed at closing rank 7842 (for SC candidates)

- Indian Institute of Information Technology, Bhagalpur.

B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering: Closing rank 8114 (SC category)

The following strategies might increase your opportunity to attend an IIIT:

If you are part of a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS), the contest for your rank may be tougher.

In some cases, Electronics and Communication Engineering or Information Technology, may have better closing ranks than Computer Science.

- Go Through Many Rounds: Attend many rounds of JoSAA counseling for the best outcome.

Each year, cutoffs can be different and where seats are available matters significantly. Regularly visit the JoSAA website to see if your preferred course is still open and what rank is needed.

Dear Candidate ,
Yes with a 55 percentile in JEE main 2025 , you are eligible to register for JoSAA counselling , however , getting a seat in a government college like NIT , IIIT or GFTI will be challenging if you belong to the general category, as your rank would likely be above 4.5-5 lakh .
You should still fill the JoSSA form and list all  possible options , and also apply for CSAB Counselling , which takes place after JoSSA and may offer more flexibility.

Hello Aspirant,

Given your JEE Mains EWS rank of 14,000, getting CSE in any of the top NITs or IIITs is going to be difficult. However, you might be able to get into newer or lower ranked NITs/IIITs, or branch CSE-related branches such as IT, Software Engineering or Data Science, which are not as competitive.

These are some of the possiblities:

1. NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Meghalaya (CSE or computer related branches)
2. IIITs like IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Bhopal, IIIT Kalyani

These are the factors that can affect your chances:

• Home state quota
• Category seat variations every year
• Round number (chances can increase in further rounds)

Dear Candidate ,
With the information given , it is highly unlikely that you will get any branch in NIT Warangal . The closing ranks for OBC-NCL candidates at NIT Warangal across all branches are much lower - for example CSE closes around 900 , ECE around 3,100 and even less competitive branches like Mechanical and Civil close below 6,000. Given this , your rank does not meet the cutoff criteria for any branch there .
