Chemical Engineering

Indeed, as you have a 92 percentile in JEE Main it is fairly good option to be admitted to B.Tech Chemical Engineering. Maybe getting a seat in high-level NITs, such as Trichy or Warangal, will be quite a challenge to you in General category, but here you can consider mid-level NITs (e.g., NIT Durgapur, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Srinagar) or GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes). Depending on your category (OBC/SC/ST/EWS), home state quota and overall cutoffs of 2025 depending on which year keep changing each year. It is recommendable to take an active part in JoSAA and CSAB counselling rounds and also take into account admission to state-level engineering colleges.

Top-tier options include: Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) like Kharagpur, Bombay, Delhi; National Institute of Technology (NITs such as Trichy, Warangal, Calicut); University Departments at Jadavpur University (Kolkata), Institute of Chemical Technology (Mumbai), and Anna University (Chennai). Other strong institutions are BIT Mesra, Thapar University, and BITS Pilani. These colleges consistently rank high for faculty expertise, research infrastructure, industry interface, and placements in chemical, petrochemical, and pharma sectors. Tuition fees vary depending on public or private status, but most offer strong merits-based scholarship options.

With a JEE Mains percentile of seventy-two point three, securing chemical engineering in top NITs or IIITs will be difficult due to high cut-offs. However, some state-level engineering colleges and private universities may offer chemical engineering seats under this percentile range. Institutes like SRM, Lovely Professional University, or VIT (through their own exams) can be strong alternatives. You should also explore spot rounds, counselling through state quotas, and management seats in reputed private colleges. Building a solid academic record in whichever college you join will ultimately matter more for placements and higher studies than the college tier.
