Is 40 Marks a Safe Score in JEE Mains 2027?
For a leading NIT, achieving 40 marks in the JEE Main 2027 out of a total of 300 cannot be deemed safe, particularly for a candidate belonging to the general category. Scoring 40 marks in the NTA JEE Main would likely result in a rank of about 3,85,000. This rank is considered quite low for gaining admission to any prestigious NIT, IIIT, or GFTI. Nonetheless, some of the newer NITs might be an option for candidates. Please refer to the information below:
