Exam

According to JEE Main rank in the range of 72000, general category will be unable to get a seat in CSE in high level NITs (such as Trichy, Warangal or Surathkal). But you stand good odds in CSE/IT in new NITs like NIT Agartala, NIT Arunachal Pradesh, NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Sikkim, NIT Manipur, NIT Puducherry and NIT Srinagar, especially when you can get a home-state quota or a reserved category. Also, Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) such as Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, Katra; Assam University, Silchar and Tezpur University (in certain courses with respect to the CSE discipline) are also quite probable. You can look into good private Universities which admit JEE Main ranks. Always follow JoSAA and CSAB counseling and do a good research on previous year cutoffs.

Having 89-91 percentile of JEE Main, the general category is not expected to get CSE in best NITs (such as Trichy, warangal). Nonetheless, you are a good candidate to CSE/IT in some of the newer NITs (e.g. NIT Agartala, NIT Puducherry, NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Sikkim, NIT Manipur, NIT Arunachal Pradesh, NIT Silchar, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Durgapur), or other disciplines in mid-tier NITs.Where Nirma University is considered, the overall all-India cut-off is normally going to be better, say around 96-97 percentile in the case of CSE. But, in case you have a home state quota (Gujarat), your prospects in Nirma in CSE is high, because home state cut offs are considerably lower (e, g., 90-92-percentile) in the SC/OBC categories in the 2024 intake. You are advised to see their particular JEE Main cut off patterns whether according to your category and your home state.

Indeed, Class 10th academic year 2025 is currently open to admission in most of the boards, as well as the schools of India, although the exact schedule will vary by the board and nature of the school. In the case of CBSE schools, the procedure of getting registered to the 2025-26 board exams generally starts in September-October 2025. In case of NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling), the October/ November series of the current year exams, the final deadline of the admissions usually fall in late July of the following year without late fee, but there will always be options to take late fee open in the month of August as well. Certain schools in some state governments such as the schools in Delhi might have a specified round of admission which is currently open. The dates and processes may be different according to official websites of respective board (CBSE, NIOS or State Board) and that particular school you are interested in.

Indeed, as you have a 92 percentile in JEE Main it is fairly good option to be admitted to B.Tech Chemical Engineering. Maybe getting a seat in high-level NITs, such as Trichy or Warangal, will be quite a challenge to you in General category, but here you can consider mid-level NITs (e.g., NIT Durgapur, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Srinagar) or GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes). Depending on your category (OBC/SC/ST/EWS), home state quota and overall cutoffs of 2025 depending on which year keep changing each year. It is recommendable to take an active part in JoSAA and CSAB counselling rounds and also take into account admission to state-level engineering colleges.
