Yes, with a JEE Main percentile of 95.816, you are on the borderline but have a realistic chance of securing B.Tech CSE at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore under Slab 1 (the lowest fee slab), especially as an OC General girl from Telangana. However, competition is very high, and admission depends on seat availability and whether you apply through JEE Main or AEEE.
Amrita Coimbatore – CSE Cutoff (2025–2026)
| Exam | Cutoff Range (CSE) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| JEE Main Percentile | 92–97 percentile | Your 95.816 percentile fits within this range. |
| JEE Main Rank | 10,000–20,000 (approx.) | Your rank should be within this band for CSE. |
| AEEE Percentile | 95–99.5 percentile (Other State) | Higher competition; Coimbatore requires top scores. |
Admission Chances for You
- Percentile (95.816): Within cutoff band for CSE at Coimbatore.
- Category (OC General): No reservation benefit, so competition is tougher.
- State (Telangana – Other State quota): Cutoff

With a JEE Main 2026 rank of 400,510 (≈ 70 percentile), admission to NITs, IIITs, or top GFTIs through JoSAA counseling is not possible.
Why?
- NITs/IIITs/GFTIs Cutoffs:
- Even for lower-demand branches (Civil, Mechanical, Metallurgy), closing ranks are usually within 2–2.5 Lacs (General category).
- Your rank (≈ 4 lakh) is well beyond cutoff ranges.
- Special Rounds (CSAB): Sometimes cutoffs extend slightly, but not beyond ~3 Lacs rank.
Practical Options for You
- State Government Colleges:
- Apply through Rajasthan REAP, Maharashtra CAP, UPSEE, Odisha OJEE, etc.
- These offer CSE/IT/ECE seats at your rank.
- Private Universities:
- LNMIIT Jaip

hi,
With 45% in your board exams, your admission at Parul University depends on the course. For most engineering programs, the minimum eligibility is around 45% in PCM, so you may be eligible, but admission is not guaranteed—it depends on seat availability and specific course requirements. For non-engineering or design courses, eligibility may be easier. You should apply early and confirm with the admissions office.
Lovely Professional University (LPU) has slightly higher eligibility for many programs, usually around 50–60%, though some courses may accept lower scores with conditions. LPU offers modern infrastructure, industry exposu

With your daughter's JEE Main rank, admission to the CSE branch in NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs depends heavily on category, quota, and counseling rounds. In 2025, top NITs closed CSE around AIR 1,000–3,000, mid‑tier NITs around 5,000–8,000, and newer NITs/IIITs extended up to 12,000–15,000. GFTIs often go further, sometimes beyond 20,000.
| Institute Type | Typical Closing Rank (GEN) | EWS/OBC Closing Rank | SC/ST Closing Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top NITs (Trichy, Surathkal, Warangal, Allahabad) | ~1,500–3,000 | ~2,500–5,000 | ~10,000–15,000 | Highly competitive; only top percentiles secure CSE |
| Mid‑Tier NITs (Kurukshetra, Durgapur, Jamshedpur, Nagpur, Bhopal) | ~5,000–8,000 | ~7,000–12,000 | ~18,000–25,000 | Good chance for strong but not top ranks |
| Newer NITs (Arunachal, Mizoram, Manipur, Srinagar, Agartala) | ~10,000–12,000 | ~12,000–15,000 | ~25,000–35,000 | More accessible; CSE still fills quickly |
| IIITs (newer) (Una, Bhagalpur, Kottayam, Ranchi, Nagpur) | ~12,000–15,000 | ~15,000–20,000 | ~30,000–40,000 | Often admit in later rounds |
| GFTIs (BIT Mesra, Gurukul Kangri, Assam Univ, etc.) | ~15,000–20,000+ | ~20,000–25,000 | ~35,000–45,000 | Backup option; wider range of closing ranks |

At 86.56 percentile in JEE Main as an OBC-NCL female candidate, you have realistic chances of admission into mid-tier NITs (for non-CSE branches), several IIITs, and strong state government engineering colleges like HBTU Kanpur, MMMUT Gorakhpur, and KNIT Sultanpur. Your category and gender advantage improves your odds compared to general candidates.
Likely College Options at 86.56%ile (OBC-NCL, Female)
| College Type | Examples | Branches Possible | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NITs (Tier II/III) | NIT Agartala, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Raipur, NIT Jalandhar | Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, ECE | CSE/IT usually closes above 95%ile; but OBC female quota improves chances in non-CSE branches. |
| IIITs (Lower Tier) | IIITDM Kurnool, IIIT Agartala, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Manipur | ECE, Mechanical, IT | Admission possible in newer IIITs; CSE may be tight but IT/ECE realistic. |
| State Govt. Colleges (UP) | HBTU Kanpur, MMMUT Gorakhpur, KNIT Sultanpur, BIET Jhansi | Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, some IT | Strong placement in core branches; fees affordable (₹85k–₹2.4 lakh). |
| GFTIs (Govt. Funded Technical Institutes) | BIT Mesra (non-CSE branches), Assam University, SLIET Longowal | Civil, Mechanical, Production | Relaxed cutoffs; good backup options. |
Cutoff Insights
- OBC-NCL cutoff for JEE Main 2026: ~80–82 percentile. You are above cutoff, so eligible for JEE Advanced and JoSAA counseling.
- Female quota advantage: Many NITs/IIITs reserve seats for female candidates, lo
