With 96 percentile, you're already in a strong position.At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, you will likely get a good branch (even CSE/COE chances are decent depending on cutoffs).But honestly don't rush.If you still have another JEE attempt left, it makes sense to wait and try to improve. Even a small jump can open better options (top NITs, IIITs, etc.).Simple way to think-

• If Thapar is your safe + comfortable option → keep it

• But don't lock in yet if you can still improve your score

You're in a good spot. Just play it smart and keep options open.

There's no fixed “marks” cutoff for Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology — it works on percentile/rank, and it changes every year.

Rough idea based on trends:

• CSE / COE → ~95–97+ percentile
• ENC / ECE → ~90–95 percentile
• Mechanical / Electrical → ~85–92 percentile
• Civil / Chemical / Biotech → ~70–85 percentile

Marks vary each paper, so focus on percentile. Also, Thapar has a board marks quota, so strong 12th % can help.

You don't need a perfect score — mid 80s–90s percentile can still get you in.

With a JEE Mains Paper 2 score of 109 and 72% in 12th, securing a B.Arch seat at LPU looks feasible. LPU accepts JEE Paper 2 scores in place of NATA, and your 12th marks exceed the minimum 50% aggregate (with Maths) requirement for eligibility. Apply soon through their portal before the July 31, 2026 deadline to confirm availability based on seats. Strong placements in architecture add value without overlooking other solid options elsewhere. 

No, Shetty Institute of Technology does not accept JEE Main. Students do not have to submit JEE scores. Instead, students need to appear for the CET exam. The institute may accept other tests for management quota admissions.

SGT University considers JEE Main scores for admission to BTech. Candidates are also selected for BTech courses based on their merit or CUET scores. However, the preference is given to candidates with JEE Main scores.

For general students 60 marks is not good enough for admission in top NITs or IIITs. 60 marks will be around 80 percentile and will give rank between 1.5 and 2.5 lakhs.
