With a JEE Main rank of ~13,00,000, admission to government engineering colleges through JoSAA (NITs, IIITs, GFTIs) is not possible. Even the lowest closing ranks for Civil/Mechanical in newer NITs or GFTIs usually end around 7–8 Lacs rank.
Where You Still Have Chances
1. State Government Colleges (via State Counseling)
- Many state-level engineering admissions (like REAP Rajasthan, HSTES Haryana, UPSEE/UPCET, Maharashtra CAP) accept students with ranks above 10 lakh.
- Branches possible: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Mining, Production Engineering.
- CSE/IT is very unlikely in government colleges at this rank.
2. Private Universities
- Coll

With 81.3 percentile in JEE Main (EWS category), you can get admission in GL Bajaj Institute of Technology & Management (Greater Noida) for B.Tech CSE, because GL Bajaj is a private college and its admission process is more flexible compared to NITs/IIITs.
Admission Process at GL Bajaj
- Eligibility: 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics.
- Entrance Route:
- Through UPSEE/UPCET counseling (state quota).
- Direct admission based on JEE Main percentile or Class 12 marks.
- Cutoff Trends:
- For CSE, JEE Main percentile usually required is 75–80+.
- With 81.3 percentile (EWS), you are comfortably eligible.

Yes, BiPC (Biology, Physics, Chemistry) students can join UIET Kurukshetra (KUK) for Biotechnology, but not through JEE Main rank. Here's the distinction:
Admission Pathways at UIET Kurukshetra
B.Tech (CSE, ECE, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, IT):
- Admission strictly via JEE Main + HSTES/JoSAA counseling.
- Requires PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) in Class 12.
- BiPC students are not eligible for these engineering branches.
B.Tech Biotechnology:
- Admission is possible for BiPC students (PCB stream).
- Eligibility: 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Mathematics.
- Admission usually through HSTES counseling (state quota) or university-level

Approximate rank: ~2.0–2.2 Lacs out of ~12 Lacs candidates.
NITs/IIITs via JoSAA: Not possible for CSE/ECE at this percentile. Even newer NITs usually close above 90–92 percentile.
State Government Colleges: You can get admission through state-level counseling (like REAP in Rajasthan, UPSEE, Maharashtra CAP, Andhra Pradesh EAPCET).
Private Universities: Strong chance for CSE/IT/ECE admission, since many accept 70–80 percentile or even Class 12 marks.
Government Colleges (State Counseling)
Rajasthan REAP → Govt. Engineering Colleges in Kota, Ajmer, Jhalawar, Bikaner.
UPSEE → Govt. colleges in Uttar Pradesh.
Maharashtra CAP → Govt.

With a JEE Main percentile of 93.95, admission to NIT Kurukshetra in high-demand branches like Computer Science, IT, or AI/ML is unlikely under the General category, but you may have chances in lower-demand branches (Civil, Production, or Environmental Engineering) depending on your category and whether you apply under Home State quota.
NIT Kurukshetra Cutoff 2025 (Percentile → Rank Context)
Cutoffs are published in All India Ranks (AIR), not percentiles. A 93.95 percentile usually corresponds to an AIR around 55,000–65,000 (approximate, varies by session).
General Category (Other State Quota) – Closing Ranks 2025
| Branch | Closing Rank (AIR) | Approx. Percentile Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Engineering | ~11,000 | 98+ |
| IT | ~14,700 | 97.5+ |
