JEE Main

There are various colleges that do not require 75 percent in boards and accept JEE Main result such as DTU, IIT Banglore, IIT Delhi, IIT Hyderabad, IISc Banglore, IISER, Jadavpur University, etc.

The best colleges along with available branches that you can get with 150 marks in JEE Mains are NIT Jalandhar, NIT Silchar, NIT Raipur, NIT Patna, NIT Durgapur, NIT Hamirpur and NIT Manipur. You can also get IIITs such as IIIT Agartala, IIIT Pune, IIIT Lucknow and IIIT Gwalior.

Here are the JEE Mains 2024 cutoff (Session 1):  

• General: 93+ (Top15-20k rank)  
• OBC: 80+  
• SC/ST: 50+  

For NITs/IIITs:  

• Top NITs (Trichy/Surathkal): 95+ (Gen)  
• Mid NITs: 85+  

State quotas might lower cutoffs as well. Session 2 (in April) might also take the cutoffs to change.  

Kumaraguru College of Technology (KCT) Coimbatore does not accept JEE Mains scores for admission into B.E./B.Tech programs—its admissions are based solely on TNEA rank (Class 12th marks in Physics, Chemistry, Math) through Anna University, not on JEE Mains or JoSAA counseling.

With an 80.03 percentile in JEE Main Session 1, you may get admission in some state-level government engineering colleges, private colleges, or lower-tier NITs through home state quota (if cutoff allows). Core branches in top NITs or IIITs may not be possible. Consider state counseling options like MP DTE, MAH CET, or COMEDK.

Yes, you can get VNIT Nagpur with a cutoff rank of 40,000 if you belong to the General HS category. For this category, the VNIT Nagpur JEE Main cutoff 2026 for the first round ranged from 651 to 43175.

Hence, with the attained rank, while most sought-after courses like BArch, BTech CSE, and BTech ECE might not be available, students can see the table below to see which are. 

Cutoff for other categories, rounds, etc, will vary. 

Based on previous years' data, a score of 56 marks in JEE Main usually places students within the 70 to 80 percentile range. But there is very less chance that you get any good NIT for this percentile.

But for ST category you may get lower branch in lower NIT.

If you scored less than 75% in 12th but gave JEE Mains,

You can still get into NITs/IIITs if you're in your board's top 20 percentile

You can apply to private and state colleges, as most don't require 75%

You are not eligible for IITs

If aiming for IITs, consider improvement exams next year
