Engineering Entrance Exam

Hello Siddharth,
The JEE Advanced is not only for admission into IITs but also for other reputed colleges like IISC Bangalore, IIST (Indian Institute of Space Technology), Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad, etc.

Hello Siddharth,
JEE Advanced is an examination for admission into the undergraduate programmes in IITs, IISCs, IIEST, etc. To get admission for B.Tch in IITs, your rank should be atleast below 5000 (for general category).
With Mains, you can get admission into NITs, IIITs and GFTIs.

Hello Sai Krishna!
No, this is not possible. If all 11,000 students get into IITs then you cannot get any IIT as there will be a total of around 10000 seats only.
So you need to try for IISC, IIEST, etc.

Hello Rohit,
From this year HBTi is taking admission via JEE Mains, so we are also not aware of the exact cutoff, however, since it is a govt. college the cutoff must be high so you need to score well in JEE Mains to get admission there.

Hello Nishant,
Please check eligibility criteria about age or passing of 12th on the website of JEE Mains. You will get all your answers there. But why did you not appear this year? You would have got hang of exams.

IIT is not the only way forward. You can always succeed from nowhere. But IIT helps you grow as an individual. If that is what you really want, drop a year. I personally feel, it is difficult to concentrate and getting through JEE after joining an engineering programme but there are people who have done it earlier. My personal advice would be to drop in case you are that desperate. You need to look at the cost of wasting a year in case you get complacent again. Looking at the other side of it if you get into CU you will mostly get complacent and continue with what you got than going after the bigger dream.
All the best.

We can't predict whether all the state level entrance exams are going to be one (JEE) or not.
But in 2017, many prestigious institutes in India changed their intake system from state-level exams to JEE.
For example, HBTI used to offer admissions through UPTU but from 2017 admission will be based on JEE Mains. S, it is not going to happen in 2018, but in upcoming years there will be only one exam, JEE.

I am definitely sure that you will get admission in NIT. First of all, your score is 200+ and you have SC quota.
So, don't worry.
Go for the counselling.
