JEE Main

The general category is not likely to get into NITS or IIITS since their cutoffs are far high and at 53.19 percentile the general category cannot easily get selected into NITs or IIITs. The most viable choices of yours will be the colleges which are run privately as Engineering colleges and the Government colleges at the state level where fewer marks in JEE Main or 12th-grade marks are the basis of entry. Identify colleges, which have their own entrance tests or would accept direct admission based on management quotas. Inquire to colleges of research in your own state, as it is likely to be lower cut off on state residents.

With 83 percentile and a 3270 ST category rank, your chances of getting a Civil Engineering seat at a government NIT or IIIT are fair, particularly in later rounds or in institutes located in the North-Eastern regions or newer NITs. You might not get the most popular campuses, but Civil branches are often available as they have slightly lower competition compared to CS or ECE. Keep your choice filling broad and do not hesitate to include spot round options.

PES University in Bangalore usually admits students through its own entrance exam (PESSAT) or through high scores in JEE Main. With a 40 percentile in JEE Main, admission through merit quota would be difficult. However, PES also offers admission through management quota, especially if you are willing to bear a higher fee, which could range between rupees six Lacs to ten Lacs per year depending on the branch. You can also attempt PESSAT to improve your chances.

With a JEE Main rank of 13 lakh, chances of admission through JoSAA counselling are very slim. However, you can still get admission into private colleges, particularly through direct admission or management quota. Colleges affiliated with state universities, or private deemed universities with open admissions, often offer CSE seats if you're willing to explore Tier 3 cities or pay a slightly higher fee. Keep an eye out for colleges that accept board marks or conduct their own entrance tests for such branches.

With an OBC NCL category rank of 1,51,000, it becomes quite challenging to secure a seat in the core branches of NITs or IIITs through JoSAA rounds. However, a few newer IIITs or GFTIs may still have openings in streams like Metallurgy, Production, or even Civil in later rounds. Keep an eye on spot round announcements and also consider private colleges with good reputations and lateral entry or transfer options in the second year.

With an OBC rank of 75,231, your chances of getting into a top-tier NIT, IIIT or GFTI are quite slim, especially in highly sought-after branches like Computer Science or Electronics. However, you might still have a slight chance in newer GFTIs or lesser-known IIITs with core branches like Civil or Mechanical Engineering under spot or special rounds. You may also explore state counselling opportunities in Tamil Nadu. Keep backup options ready in private colleges or deemed universities with scholarships to stay on track academically.

Having ranked as PwD category 527 in JEE Main, you get a very good opportunity to excel and obtain B.Tech in Computer Science (CS) or Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) in best Delhi colleges in home state quota. Closing ranks in institutes such as DTU, NSUT and IIIT Delhi are usually much lower in the PwD category than in the general categories of applicants. To give an example, the earlier PwD centralized home state cutoffs of CSE in the IIIT Delhi were between the range of 1.6-4.5 lakh. To get the maximum opportunity to get admission, you must keenly attend JAC Delhi counseling.
