JEE Main Scores

Hi Sawan,
Well, it depends on your branch preference and also which IITs you consider as "good". Cut-offs are much higher in old IITs like Delhi, Kanpur and Bombay than the newly opened ones. JEE offered ranks to students scoring above 123 marks in JEE '14 which went approximately to AIR 19000. However, general category students only to AIR 9000 were considered for counselling and no student with AIR above 7500 got any branch in any IIT. The cut-offs in JEE are increasing drastically every year - and there is no fixed cut-off. The maximum marks and type of paper are also unpredictable. To be on the safe side, you should aim to get at least 48% of maximum marks-which would give you a rank around 4500. However, to get a decent branch at a " good" IIT. A rank at least below 3500 is a must.
Thanks.

Hi
As you scored 53% and you belong to SC background you can get admission in any of the colleges. But it is difficult for getting admission into NITs and IITs. as per new rule , the new eligibility criteria for getting admission in NIT is having minimum 75% in board 12th exam and the merit of this year is expected above 150 marks in JEE; for General students.For SC/ST candidates, the eligibility criteria is 65% marks in class 12th. So its quite difficult to get admission in NIT. But there are many other colleges with similar rankings where you can get admission very easily. So there is lot of opportunity where you can excel in your life. Just study hard and fulfill your dreams. You can get admission in colleges like Birla institute of technology and science, Anna university, Alliance College of Engineering and Design, Alliance University, Anekal, Bangalore, Vellore institute of technology, college of engineering, pune etc
All the best for future.
Thank you
