Yeah, Thapar does have that board merit route with JEE as a tiebreaker.
For CSE at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, it's quite competitive even through boards.
Rough idea:
- You usually need around 95–97%+ in PCM to be safe
- With 93–95%, chances become borderline (depends on year)
- JEE percentile helps only in tie situations
Cutoffs fluctuate every year based on demand, but CSE is always the highest.
So if your board % is very strong, you've got a shot — otherwise it gets tough 👍

With an 88.6 percentile in JEE Main 2026, getting CSE at IIIT Manipur is difficult for General candidates but very likely for reserved categories.
Admission Probability by Category
Based on previous trends, your percentile (approx. 1.3–1.6 Lakh rank) aligns with these outcomes:
General: Unlikely in JoSAA (usually closes < 60k). However, you have a slim chance in CSAB Special Rounds where ranks have previously stretched to 1.1–1.2 Lakh.
OBC-NCL: Moderate chance. You are on the borderline for CSE specializations.
SC/ST: High/Certain. CSE seats often remain available for ranks up to 3–6 Lakh.

No, the JEE Main exam on April 5, 2026, was not cancelled. However, it was officially rescheduled for certain candidates.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) allowed students to request a change of date because April 5 coincided with Easter Sunday. Following representations from students and religious communities, the Union Government approved a provision for affected candidates to opt for an alternate exam date within the Session 2 window (April 2 to April 9, 2026).
