Engineering Entrance Exam

Look for the state government colleges or some regional colleges like NEHU, SMVDU, Central University Jammu. Specifically look for branches like ME, CE or BT in these since in these colleges too CSE, ECE have way higher cutoff. And also look for maximus reservation you can get.

A JEE Main rank of 500091 and 66 percentile, along with 64.8% marks in Class 12, it is highly unlikely to get admission into a government college or GFTI (Government Funded Technical Institute) in Uttar Pradesh or anywhere in India through JoSAA counselling. Most GFTIs, NITs, and IIITs have cutoffs that close at much higher percentiles, typically above 85–90 percentile for reserved categories and even higher for general candidates.

The JEE Main 2026 syllabus remains unchanged from the 2025 structure: it includes all topics from the NCERT Class 11 and 12 curriculum in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics for Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.); and for Paper?2A (B.Arch.) and Paper 2B (B.Planning) it covers Mathematics, General Aptitude, plus drawing or planning-based sections as applicable.

CSE and AI & DS are most competitive — need ranks roughly below 30,000 for early admission.ECE and IT also require good ranks but allow more flexibility (final cutoff nearly 100,000).EEE, and especially Civil, are more accessible—candidates with ranks up to 150,000–185,000 may still get a seat in later rounds.
