Students who gave the JEE Main session 2 exam and want to take admission at IITs should start preparing for the JEE Advanced exam. Students with a more than 98th percentile should start to study for the JEE Advanced exam.
Those who have secured a percentile between 95th and 98th should focus more on mock tests and previous year question papers to get the preferred college via the JEE Advanced exam.

With a JEE Main percentile of 90.94 and CRL rank ~1.4 Lacs (female, general category), you have realistic chances in mid-tier NITs (later rounds), state government colleges, and strong private universities in Tamil Nadu and Bangalore for ECE/EEE. Top NITs/IIITs are unlikely, but good regional options exist.
College Options in Tamil Nadu
Government Colleges (Anna University Affiliated)
- College of Engineering, Guindy (CEG), Chennai – Highly competitive; ECE/EEE cutoff usually <30k rank, so difficult.
- PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore – Strong placements in ECE/EEE; cutoff ~50k–70k, borderline but possible in later rounds.
- Thiagarajar College of Engin

With a JEE Main 2026 rank of 400,510 (≈ 70 percentile), admission to NITs, IIITs, or top GFTIs through JoSAA counseling is not possible.
Why?
- NITs/IIITs/GFTIs Cutoffs:
- Even for lower-demand branches (Civil, Mechanical, Metallurgy), closing ranks are usually within 2–2.5 Lacs (General category).
- Your rank (≈ 4 lakh) is well beyond cutoff ranges.
- Special Rounds (CSAB): Sometimes cutoffs extend slightly, but not beyond ~3 Lacs rank.
Practical Options for You
- State Government Colleges:
- Apply through Rajasthan REAP, Maharashtra CAP, UPSEE, Odisha OJEE, etc.
- These offer CSE/IT/ECE seats at your rank.
- Private Universities:
- LNMIIT Jaip

With a JEE Main CRL rank of ~79,364 and an EWS category rank of ~11,884, you have a realistic chance of securing CSE in several mid-tier NITs, newer IIITs, and some GFTIs. Top NITs (Trichy, Surathkal, Warangal, Allahabad) are out of reach, but options like NIT Jalandhar, NIT Hamirpur, IIIT Kota, IIIT Nagpur, and GFTIs such as Gurukul Kangri Haridwar are possible.
Likely Colleges for CSE (Based on 2025 Cutoffs)
| Institute Type | College Name | CSE Closing Rank (EWS) | Your Chances |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mid-tier NITs | NIT Jalandhar, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Raipur | ~10,000–13,000 | ✅ Possible |
| Newer NITs | NIT Uttarakhand, NIT Arunachal, NIT Meghalaya | ~12,000–15,000 | ✅ Strong |
| IIITs | IIIT Kota, IIIT Nagpur, IIIT Bhagalpur | ~11,000–14,000 | ✅ Strong |
| GFTIs | Gurukul Kangri Haridwar, Assam University, Mizoram University | ~15,000–18,000 | ✅ Very likely |
| Top NITs | NIT Trichy, Surathkal, Warangal, Allahabad | ~2,000–5,000 | ❌ Not possible |
Key Insights
- EWS Rank (11,884): This is the deciding factor. Many mid-tier NITs and IIITs close around 12k–15k for CSE.
- CRL Rank (79,364): Too high for General category seats, but EWS quota gives you leverage.
