JEE

The admission success into IET's Civil or Electrical branch following your 84 percentile in JEE Mains depends on multiple components such as minimum rank criteria along with the admission procedure. The specific information about cutoffs at IET remains elusive although admissions at IITs use category ranks where institute and branch determine their individual cutoff levels. The 2023 required score for Electrical Engineering admissions at IIT Bhubaneswar reached 4665-6768 for general candidates whereas IIT Bombay demanded 142-463. The admission data for IET remains subject to alteration because its application process might be distinct from what you see here.

With a CRL rank of 451836 in JEE under the SC category, it will be very difficult for you to get admission in GFTIs or reputed colleges in Punjab or Chandigarh. This is because your rank is very low as compared to the expected cutoffs. The expected SC category cutoff rank for 2025 for GFTIs is 70,000-120,000 or 50-70 percentile. As your rank is very much lower than the expected one, you will face problems in getting a government-reputed college. You may get a normal institute in Punjab or Chandigarh with this rank. Although the cutoff varies every year, the above-mentioned statements are given on the basis of predictions based on previous year cutoffs only.

Yes, NITs and GFTIs give admission on the basis of the JEE Mains category rank rather than the overall commo rank list.  The CRL is still considered a benchmark for overall merit, especially for the general category candidates, where the CRL is the primary rank used.  For reserved categories like SC, ST, OBC, and EWS, admission to NITs and GFTIs is primarily based on their respective category ranks within the JEE Mains exam, while for general category candidates, the CRL is the primary rank used for admission.  The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) manages the admission process for NITs and GFTIs, considering both the CRL and category ranks during seat allocation.
