Engineering Entrance Exam

With a CRL rank of 379,823 and an OBC rank of 136,599 in JEE Mains, it may be difficult to get admission into government colleges for B.Tech in Delhi or elsewhere. The top government engineering colleges have cutoffs much lower than your ranks. Take, for instance, Delhi Technological University (DTU) and Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women, which have much higher cutoffs.But you can look for lesser-known or private colleges that take lower ranks. You can also apply for management quota seats in certain colleges, which have different eligibility criteria.

To obtain question papers of previous years for the Nitte University Common Admission Test (NUCAT), you can check the official NUCAT website. 

With a JEE Mains rank of around 1.8 Lacs and non-Delhi residency, getting admission to Delhi Technological University (DTU) or Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT) might be very difficult, especially in core branches like CSE, IT, ECE, or Mechanical.

High Cutoffs: DTU and NSUT are among the top engineering colleges in India, and their cutoffs for general category (especially for outside Delhi candidates) are much lower than 1.8 lakh.

Non-Delhi Quota: Only 15% seats are available for outside Delhi candidates, making competition even tougher.

With a 5000 rank in JEE Advanced under the SC category, you have a good chance of getting into an IIT, though the branch and IIT you get will depend on cutoff trends for that year.

Possible IITs & Branches

Top IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Madras, Kharagpur, Roorkee): Less likely for core branches like CSE, ECE, or Mechanical but possible for newer branches like Metallurgy, Environmental, or Civil.

Mid-tier IITs (IIT BHU, IIT Guwahati, IIT Dhanbad, IIT Mandi, IIT Jodhpur, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Ropar, etc.): Higher chances of getting good branches like Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, or Chemical.

Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology (GJUST), Hisar, offers B.Tech admissions primarily through JEE Main scores and HSTES counseling (Haryana State Technical Education Society).

With a JEE Main rank of more than 5,00,000, admission to core branches like CSE, IT, or ECE might be difficult, as they usually have higher cutoffs. However, you may have a chance in less competitive branches such as:

Printing Technology, packaging Technology and food Technology.

With a rank 18358 in JEE advanced getting a seat in the older IITs can be tough but you could have a possibility in newer IITs or specific branches with low cutoff trends like metallurgy, mining, or environmental engineering. You can also consider IIT preparatory courses or consider IISER IIST and RGIPT as options. Looking at JOSAA counseling cutoff trends of the past years will provide you with a better indication of your prospects.

Dear Mohammed Shahab,

Admission to SVNIT Surat is mostly on the basis of JEE Main rank, and a rank of 94 appears very competitive. But the choice is subject to category, availability of seats, and home state quota. Your 90% in CBSE will make your profile stronger, but JEE rank is the deciding factor. I suggest verifying the last year's cutoffs for your category on the website of JoSAA to get a better estimate of your possibilities. If you are in a reserved category or home state quota, your possibility might increase.

All the very best ! 

Yes, you can take the JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) even if you have less than 75% in your board exams. However, whether you are eligible for admission to IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other CFTIs (Centrally Funded Technical Institutes) depends on the following:For appearing in JEE Main: There is no minimum percentage requirement in board exams. You can take JEE Main regardless of your board exam percentage.

Yes, JEE Main scores are also accepted by the college for BTech admissions. Candidates need to achieve a valid score to become eligible for the selection process. In addition to JEE Main, the institute also accepts MHT CET and PERA for BTech admissions. The choice is made on merit and entrance test performance.
