hi,

No—if you scored 44 when the cutoff is 45 in JEE Main, you would not qualify for JEE Advanced. Without qualifying JEE Advanced, admission to Indian Institute of Technology Madras is not possible, since IITs admit students only through that route.

However, you still have good alternatives. Lovely Professional University offers B.Tech programs with modern infrastructure, industry-aligned curriculum, and scholarships through LPUNEST or JEE scores. LPU focuses on placements, internships, and emerging fields like AI and data science. Many students build strong careers from such private universities even without IIT admission.

hi,

With an 82.121 percentile in JEE Main, getting admission into National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli is highly unlikely through general category quotas, as its cutoffs are usually much higher (often above 98–99 percentile). Even with home state or reserved categories, chances remain very slim.

However, you still have good options. Universities like Lovely Professional University offer quality engineering programs, modern infrastructure, and scholarships based on entrance tests like LPUNEST. LPU is known for industry exposure, placements, and diverse courses, making it a solid alternative if top NITs aren't feasible.
