• CSE / COE → ~95–97+ percentile
• ENC / ECE → ~90–95 percentile
• Mechanical / Electrical → ~85–92 percentile
• Civil / Chemical / Biotech → ~70–85 percentile

Marks vary each paper, so focus on percentile. Also, Thapar has a board marks quota, so strong 12th % can help.

You don't need a perfect score — mid 80s–90s percentile can still get you in.
