With an OBC of 11777 in JEE main 2025 you might have a chance to get into an integrated M.Sc in Chemistry at some National Institute of Technology based on previous Trends especially if the cutoff for that specific course and your category remain similar to increase slightly

Using a college predictor after JEE? Always plug in your CRL (Common Rank List) or All India Rank—that's the real MVP. Only throw in your category rank if the tool specifically asks for it. Also, select your category (OBC/SC/EWS etc.) so it adjusts cutoffs properly. Bottom line: CRL is your golden ticket unless told otherwise.

Yes, you can give JEE Mains with a 65% in your 12th board exams. While a minimum of 75% aggregate marks in Class 12 (or being in the top 20 percentile) is required for admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, there is no minimum percentage required to appear for the JEE Main exam itself

With an EWS girl rank of 26,982, getting into the A-list NITs for CSE or ECE is kinda tough. But don't lose hope—newer NITs, some IIITs, and GFTIs could still be in play for lesser-hyped branches. Keep all options open during JoSAA rounds. And yeah, if you've got home-state advantage, that's a win. Be ready to hustle through the rounds and grab what you can.

Okay, with a 48,597 EWS rank, the OG NITs might be out of reach for hotshot branches like CSE. But hey, you've got decent chances in newer NITs like Mizoram, Sikkim, Meghalaya, etc., especially in Civil, Chemical, or Metallurgy. Keep an eye on later rounds—cutoffs slide. Also, if you've got a home state quota, that could be your lucky ticket. Not glamorous, but it's a solid start!

With a 97.119 percentile in JEE Mains for the General category, you can expect to get admission into NITs like NIT Agartala, NIT Manipur, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Goa, NIT Nagaland, and NIT Warangal. You might also be able to get into some IIITs and other government-funded technical institutes (GFTIs). Specifically, at NIT Agartala, you could potentially get into Civil Engineering. The specific branch and college will depend on the specific cutoff trends for each institution and branch.

If your JEE Main CRL is 11,71,873 and SC rank is 1,08,482, then sorry—but BIT Sindri is out of reach. Their SC cutoffs for BTech usually close way earlier, like somewhere between 3k–5L depending on the branch. So unless you're into miracles, it's best to explore other private or state colleges where your rank still holds value.

Honestly, it's gonna be super tough. With a 93 percentile and 1.02 Lacs CRL, grabbing a CSE seat at MBM Jodhpur is very unlikely, even under the OBC category. CSE cutoffs are wild—usually closing way earlier, often around 30k CRL or less. OBC does help, but competition is real. You might get something in lower-demand branches, though. Keep an eye on spot rounds or consider CSE in private/state colleges with good placements.

CSE's super competitive, but if your JEE rank's between 30–40k, you still have solid colleges that give good bang for your buck. Look at IIIT Nagpur, IIIT Pune, or NIT Jalandhar for related branches. IIEST Shibpur also has good placements. If you've got home state advantage, even NIT Trichy or MNIT Jaipur might work out (for circuit branches). Focus on colleges that offer solid CTCs and low fees; basically, best ROI vibes.

Alright, with a JEE Mains rank around 1.7 Lacs in the general category, NITs or top IIITs might not be realistic unless it's a super low-demand branch + home state quota. But don't stress, you still have good options. Think state government engineering colleges, Sant Longowal Institute, or Dr. B R Ambedkar NIT Jalandhar (for lesser-popular branches). Explore state-level counselling too, some states have solid gov colleges with more seats and slightly relaxed cutoffs.
