Engineering Entrance Exam

With 61 percentile in JEE Mains and belonging to the OBC category, your chances of getting admission into NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs through JoSAA Counselling are quite low, as the cutoff for most branches in these institutions is usually higher.

State Government Colleges – Some state government engineering colleges have lower cutoffs for OBC category candidates. States like MP, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, UP, and Haryana.

Hello Yashwanth,

With a 90,000 rank in COMEDK, 96 percentile in IPE, and 67 percentile in JEE Mains, your prospects rely on the competition, seat availability, and reservations by category. Although top institutions under COMEDK can be challenging, you can still get good private engineering colleges with branches like IT, ECE, or Mechanical.

All the very best for all of this ! 

With the current cutoff trends, getting admission to the ICE branch at IGDTUW or other core branches via JAC Delhi can be difficult with your rank. For 2024, the closing rank for the ICE branch at IGDTUW was approximately 56018 for general candidates. If your rank is within or below this range, you stand a chance. Yet for other major branches like ECE or IT, the cut-offs were also on the competitive side. It is best to keep an eye on the official website of JAC Delhi and attend all rounds of counseling in order to optimize your chances.

At a 70 percentile in JEE Mains, you are sure to get into some of the colleges for the Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) stream, but major colleges like NITs and IITs won't happen. Colleges admitting students at this percentile are Lovely Professional University, Amity University, and Chandigarh University. These colleges generally have a low cutoff and a decent ECE program. It's necessary to be involved in the counseling process to be able to evaluate your options effectively and confirm you comply with any further requirements from the colleges.

With a general category rank of 40,000 in JEE Mains, you won't find it easy to get admission into the Computer Science Engineering (CSE) branch of Delhi's top colleges. The closing ranks of CSE in a college like NIT Delhi are generally between 7,000 and 10,000. For non-branded colleges, the cutoffs can be different, but they are usually competitive as well. You can consider other engineering branches or colleges with lower cutoffs. It's better to verify the particular cutoff information on the official websites of the colleges you wish to join.
