With an 84 percentile in JEE Mains from the OBC category in 2024, NIT or IIIT admission is difficult but not out of the question. Generally, NITs will have a higher percentile, sometimes over 90 for sought-after branches. But newer NITs or less sought-after branches may take lower-percentile candidates. IIITs also have different cutoffs, and some may take candidates with an 84 percentile. It's best to look for individual cutoffs for each institute and factors such as class 12th marks, which are taken for admission to these institutes.
