JEE Main Rank Predictor 2025

Hello Manisha,

with 145 marks in JEE Main 2025 (April 4, shift 1), your expected percentile is around 97-98. this could translate to an approximate rank between 25,000 to 35,000, depending on the shift's difficulty. exact rank will be known after normalization and final result declration.

Hope this message finds you well,

Thank  you.

Yes, 98 percentile in JEE Main is a good score and can get you into NITs, but it depends on:

Category:

General: Chances in lower-ranked NITs or core branches.

OBC/SC/ST: Better chances in good NITs and better branches.

Home State Quota: Helps you get better options in your state’s NIT.

Branch Preference:

CSE/IT in top NITs: Tough at 98 percentile.

Core branches (Mechanical, Civil, etc.): Possible in many NITs.

Hello there,

With a JEE Mains score of 23.9 percentile and a two-year drop, getting admission to a top government engineering college in Uttar Pradesh (UP) may be challenging, but you can still explore some lower-tier government colleges that may offer low fees and have seats available in the later rounds or spot rounds .

Here are a few options you can consider:

1. Government Engineering College (GEC), Raebareli : This is a government-funded college with relatively low fees. Your chances in later rounds or spot rounds may be higher, especially for branches like Civil Engineering or Electrical.
   
   

2. Bundelkhand Institute of Engineering & Technology (BIET), Jhansi : The fees here are affordable, and the competition may be relatively less intense compared to other top colleges.
   
   

3. Shamli Engineering College (SEC), Shamli : This is another low-fee government college in UP, and you might have a chance for some branches depending on the availability of seats.
   
   

4. UP State Engineering Colleges (like Aligarh Muslim University, etc.) : Some branches in state-level colleges may be available for lower-ranked students in spot rounds.

Keep checking JoSAA and CSAB special rounds for seat availability. Make sure to keep an eye on the cut-off trends for each college in previous years for better clarity.

It is advisable to apply for all possible rounds to increase your chances of getting a seat.

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 I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello,

With a score of 181 in JEE Mains session 2 , the likely percentile can range from 95 to 97, depending on the overall difficulty of the exam and the performance of other candidates.

You can also use our JEE Main Percentile Predictor To ol to predict what will be your percentile based on your score.

Hope it helps !

Hello Yuvii,

yes, you can repeat class 12th as a private candidate and appear for JEE. if your score more than 75% in your repeat attempt, that score will be considered for IITs and NITs eligibility. make sure your subjects and board are recognized by NTA for JEE. https://engineering.careers360.com/download/ebooks/jee-main-marks-vs-percentile-vs-rank?utm_source=careers360

With a JEE Main rank of 1,98,000 in the OBC category and Bihar as your home state, getting CSE in top colleges like NIT Patna is not possible as the cutoff for CSE is typically around 12,000–20,000 OBC rank. Similarly, chances for CSE in IIITs are also very slim. However, you can still explore alternatives like applying through UGEAC Bihar counselling for state-level colleges, or consider CS-related branches in newer IIITs or NITs, where the cutoff may be higher. Additionally, you can apply to private colleges that accept JEE scores.

Hi aspirant,

With a rank of 198,000, gaining admission to the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) programs at prestigious institutions like the NITs (National Institutes of Technology) or IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) in Bihar is highly unlikely , even for students from the OBC (Other Backward Classes) category.

It would be advisable to explore your options at state colleges within Bihar or look into private engineering colleges that may offer more accessible admission criteria.

If you aim to secure a place in one of India’s top-tier engineering institutes, you may want to consider reattempting the JEE Mains in the next academic cycle for a better chance of success.

To estimate your chances of getting into a good engineering college, let's break down the JEE Main scoring system.

Understanding JEE Main Scores

- Marks vs Percentile: Your percentile score indicates how well you've performed compared to others. A higher percentile means a better rank.

- Percentile vs Rank: Here's a rough estimate of percentile vs rank:

- 99.9+ percentile: Rank 1-500

- 99.967+ percentile: Rank 1-500 (general category)

- 97-98.9 percentile: Rank 1,000-4,000 (potential for top NITs and IIITs)

- 90-96.9 percentile: Rank 4,000-10,000 (good for popular branches in NITs and state colleges)

- Safe Scores for Admission

- Top NITs (CSE): 255+ marks

- NITs (Top Branches): 180-200+ marks (98-99+ percentile)

- IIITs & GFTIs: 120-140 marks (90-94 percentile)

Potential Colleges Based on Percentile

Assuming you're aiming for top engineering colleges, here are some potential options based on percentile ranges:

- *99+ percentile*: Top IITs, NITs (Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal)

- 97-98.9 percentile: NITs, IIITs (potential for branches like CSE, Mechanical, Electrical)

- 90-96.9 percentile: Popular branches in NITs, state colleges, and private universities

Next Steps

1. Wait for your results Check your rank and percentile on the official JEE Main website (jeemain.nta.ac.in) once results are declared.

2. Research colleges Look into colleges that match your estimated percentile and rank range.

3. Counseling: Prepare for JEE Main counseling, which will determine seat allocation.

Some top colleges to consider are

- National Institutes of Technology (NITs) Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Computer Science, IT

- IIITs: Computer Science, Electronics, Information Technology

- UPES Dehradun: Petroleum Engineering, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical

- Shiv Nadar University: Computer Science, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering

- Amity University: Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Science, Civil Engineering

Keep in mind that college admissions depend on various factors, including your rank, percentile, and category. Good luck with your results and counseling!

Hello Manu,

with 78 marks in JEE Mains session 2 and belonging to the SC category, your expected percentile would be around 85-88. based on this, your SC category rank could be approximately 15000 to 20000. exact rank may vary slightly depending on overall session difficulty and normalization.

Yes, it is possible to gain admission to the same NITK in a better branch if you score well on JEE Main 2026, even if you have previously been admitted to the same NITK through a lower branch via home state quota. Your past admission does not preclude you from reapplying and securing a better branch if your JEE Main 2026 score is competitive.

Explanation:

JEE Main's Admission Process:

JEE Main is a national-level engineering entrance exam used for admission to NITs and other participating institutions.

Home State Quota:

Home state quota allows students to get preferential admission in NITs based on their state of origin.

No Restriction on Re-admission:

While a student might have been admitted to a specific branch and NIT initially, there is no rule preventing them from reapplying for the same NIT and potentially securing a better branch based on their performance in a subsequent JEE Main exam.

Score-Based Admission:

Admission to NITs is primarily determined by your JEE Main score and your overall rank compared to other candidates.

Higher Score, Better Branch:

A higher JEE Main score will increase your chances of getting into your preferred branch, even within the same NITK.

Considerations:

Rank: Even with home state quota, the overall rank and category-wise cutoffs within NITK play a crucial role in determining which branch you are offered.

Branch Preferences: During the counselling process, you will have the opportunity to express your branch preferences, and the higher your score, the better your chances of getting your top choices.

Cutoffs: Understand the cutoffs for different branches and categories in NITK for previous years to get a better understanding of the competition.

In summary: You can absolutely try for a better branch at NITK by taking JEE Main 2026. Your current admission does not prevent you from reapplying and getting a better branch based on your score.
