JEE

With a CRL rank of 1,078,628 and an EWS rank of 139,272, it is extremely unlikely that competitive branches such as Computer Science or Electrical Engineering will be obtained in NITs or GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes), since the cutoffs for such branches are typically below 50,000 for most NITs and 30,000 for premier GFTIs. Yet, you can still have hope in lower-demand branches such as Civil Engineering or Biotechnology in a few NITs or GFTIs, based on your particular category and state quota. You can still look into options through JoSAA counseling in subsequent rounds.

Yes, you can use NEET, KCET, and JEE together, but only after 2nd PUC (12th standard), as these examinations need a 10+2 qualification or equivalent appearing status. As you are in 1st PUC now, you can begin preparation for all three exams, but you will be eligible to appear for them only in your 2nd PUC year (next year). NEET is for medical studies, JEE for engineering, and KCET is for Karnataka-origin admissions in medical (except for MBBS/BDS) as well as in engineering colleges. Concentrate hard on fundamentals in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology to get good scores.

No, you are not eligible for JEE Advanced 2025 because a candidate can attempt JEE Advanced twice in consecutive years after passing Class 12. As you passed 12th in 2023, your eligible years were JEE Advanced 2023 and 2024. As you failed in both attempts, you cannot appear in 2025.

But if you wish to study engineering, you can look for state engineering entrance exams, private colleges, or lateral entry schemes. You can also appear for JEE Main 2025 if you are eligible for it.

Having an SC category rank of 9,200 in JEE Main, getting into IIIT Kottayam or IIIT Dharwad for B.Tech courses might prove difficult, since the cutoffs of past years for SC candidates have been quite lower.

For example, in 2024, the closing ranks for SC students at IIIT Kottayam ranged from 3,545 to 10,370.

How to Get Admission into Top Engineering Colleges in Bihar at a 49 Percentile in JEE?

Getting admission into the top engineering colleges in Bihar is generally not possible at 49 percentile in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), mainly for general category students.

Most of the top institutions expect higher percentiles, mostly above 90, considering the stiff competition. Most admissions are based on the JEE Main scores and the ensuing state counseling process. If exploring options in low-grade colleges is not up to the mark, you might consider a reattempt for a better score.

You have a strong possibility of admission in Haldia Institute of Technology (HIT), West Bengal, under WBJEE counseling or JEE Mains quota, given your 85.6 percentile and 2 Lacs rank in JEE Mains.

While WBJEE is used for the majority of admissions, HIT reserves some seats for JEE Mains candidates. Contact the college administration if you have not applied to WBJEE counseling to determine if direct admission can be arranged.

Since the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) department within Pondicherry University is the most sought after and most frequently tends to hold upper cutoffs, admission could be difficult with a JEE Mains rank of 95,000. Category (General, OBC, SC/ST, etc.) and competition in the year for your application, however, will determine your realistic possibilities.
