Engineering Entrance Exam

Candidates can appear in JEE Main irrespective of their percentage in class 12. Candidates must note that there is no requirement for JEE Main eligibility marks in 12th for appearing in the exam. The eligibility criteria of 75% marks is applicable only at the time of taking admission to the institute. Only those candidates who have passed the Class 12/equivalent examination in 2022, 2023, or appearing in 2024 are eligible to appear in JEE Main 2024. Candidates who passed the Class 12/equivalent examination in 2021 or before as well as those who will appear in such examination in 2025 or later are not eligible to appear in JEE Main 2024.

One of Shiv Nadar University's most popular specialisations is BTech CSE. Candidates can apply using their JEE Mains results to be considered for admission to Shiv Nadar University's BTech programme. The candidate is qualified for direct admission if their score is 80 percent or higher. The candidate should apply using the results of the SNUSAT and APT tests if their score is less than the 80 percentile. Applicants who score in the 77.7 percentile on JEE Main may be able to get into SNU's BTech programme. In Class 12, the overall criterion is at least 65%. Candidates with a similar or higher score can enrol in SNU Noida's BTech CSE degree with ease.

India's two most esteemed engineering institutes are Delhi Technological University (DTU) and National School of Engineering (NSUT). As to the web material, a candidate's JEE Mains general category rank must be less than 10,000 in order to be admitted and guaranteed a seat at DTU. In other words, your JEE Mains score needs to be at least higher than the 99.2 percentile. Your percentile for the top branches of NSUT should be 98+. The percentage, however, changes based on the courses selected. In 2023, the closing rank for the NSUT East Campus B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (IOT) was 9676, and the closing rank for the B.Tech.

SASTRA University BTech admission criteria are divided into two streams and they are as mentioned below:

Stream 1: JEE Mains + Class 12 marks (50% weightage given to each), for admission to 50% of the total seats

Stream 2: Class 12 marks (100% weightage), for admission to the remaining 50%

For 50% of the total seats, the University accepts JEE Main scores and for the rest of the seats, admission is done based on the merit secured by the candidate in the qualifying exam.

The score obtained at 35 percentile will not be much favorable in JEE Main. With such a percentile, candidates will not qualify for the counselling process and will not be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced examination. However the candidate may use the board exam scores to obtain a seat.

A JEE rank of more than 70,000 is typically regarded as low, and applicants frequently give up on getting into the NITs and B.Tech programmes of their choice. The good news is that a number of universities, such as NITs and IIITs, accept JEE Main low scores up to 2,000,000. Based on the data from the previous year, NIT Mizoram has the lowest cutoff with a closing rank of 678406 for B.Tech. Civil Engineering (Gender-Neutral). It is followed by NIT Sikkim, which has a JEE Main rank of 639272 for B.Tech. EEE, and NIT Agartala, which has a JEE Main rank of 287950 for B.Tech. Biotech & Bio Chem Engineering. Therefore a rank of 9 Lacs can also have a chance of getting into colleges.

The eligibility criteria for admission in IITs, NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs are decided by the institute and not by NTA. JEE Main eligibility criteria decided by NTA are only meant for appearing in the examination. The details about eligibility criteria for admission to the institute are provided by Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA), the counselling authority which admits students to these institutes. For details about the eligibility criteria for admission, candidates can visit the JoSAA website. Candidates need to score at least 75% marks in class 12 to get admission in NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. Candidates belonging to SC/ST need to have at least 60% marks. However, the criteria of marks in class 12 is lower in states like Uttar Pradesh (U.P.), Madhya pradesh (M.P.), Bihar, which accept JEE Main score for admission to BTech courses.
