Commonly asked questions
With 95 percentile in JEE Mains, your chances of getting into a NIT are high, but high-demand courses may not be available.
Candidates do not need to present a domicile certificate in order to be admitted to IIT, NIT, or IIIT via JEE. The only university where admission is granted based on the Home State Quota is NIT. The state in which you take your 12th board test is used to determine admission, not your home state. When receiving JoSAA counselling, the domicile certificate is not necessary. The JEE score of the applicants determines their admission.
The JEE Advanced closing rank for IITs differs. The cutoff ranks will vary for each of the 23 IITs based on their courses, seats offered and various other factors.
Candidates can check the JoSAA cutoff on the official website - josaa.nic.in.
