Engineering Entrance Exam

It is a bit difficult. IIITs admit candidates with JEE Main ranks up to around 54,000 in the open and gender-neutral categories. They primarily offer popular courses such as Computer Science Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, and Information Technology to candidates with ranks above 25,000 in JEE Mains.

Students who rank in JEE Main above 1 lakh are eligible for admission to NITs. But not possible in top institutions.

Having a 73.39 percentile in JEE Main 2025, admission into NITs or IIITs may not be possible, but you have decent alternatives. Most private and state engineering colleges admit students within this percentile. You can try universities such as Maharishi Markandeshwar University (Haryana), Quantum University (Uttarakhand), Symbiosis University of Applied Sciences (Madhya Pradesh), and Raj Kumar Goel Institute of Technology (Uttar Pradesh). These colleges provide Computer Science, Electronics, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering courses.

All the best ! 

The JoSAA counselling is expected to start in the first week of June 2026. Usually, the JoSAA counselling registration starts a day after the JEE Advanced result is declared. The official website for JoSAA is josaa.nic.in.

You can verify if your name has been shortlisted by going to the official website of the exam or organisation you had applied for. Search for the merit list, selection list, or result PDF under the recent notifications. You might be required to provide your registration number, roll number, or name to locate your result. If available, also check your email or SMS for any official notification about your selection.

If you've just appeared for JEE Main and wish to prepare for JEE Advanced, begin by clearing your fundamentals from NCERT books. Practice questions from books such as HC Verma (Physics), MS Chauhan (Organic Chemistry), and Cengage (Math). Attempt past year papers of JEE Advanced and practice mock tests for enhancing speed. Prepare short notes for quick revision and emphasize weak areas. Attending a test series can help monitor progress. 

The simple approach is, whatever chapters you think you have strong command on it and are relatively easy and scoring, try to complete them first 

All the best, hoping this would help .
