Hello Meet, According to your percentile, Your approximately rank is 66,000. So you will end up scoring 66k rank or somewhere around that. If you have home state quota, then you will definitely get an NIT. But I suggest you to wait for official result. But you will definitely get lower NIT.

Sharukh khan once said in the movie "agar merit kahani ki happy ending nahi huyi to picture abhi baki hai mere dost'. This is not the end of you. Even I faced this situation 5 years ago. That time I said myself this is not the real me. I worked hard and got my dream.

My son has low score in JEE Main 1st attempt and is very demotivated. As Board exams are on the head, how to deal with the stress?
I got low marks in first attempt too. I was also stressed but there was only one thing in my mind; this is not the end of me. Every movie deserves to get happy ending. I tried hard and scored good marks in both boards and next JEE Mains.

I have 71 %ile in JEE Main. What to do now?
Dear candidate, At 71 percentile your JEE Main rank will be around 250000-300000. You can't give JEE Advanced and you can't get admission in NIT/GFTIs at this rank. You should apply in State Engineering Colleges or try to get admission in private colleges like: Amity University.
