JEE

It depends on the course in which the student is interested. MANIT Bhopal offers various courses in the different fields such as Engineering, Management, Humanities, etc. To be eligible for any course, the candidate must have at least 50% in their previous qualification. Eligible candidates must appear for the required entrance exams, such as JEE Main for BTech or GATE for MTech and score valid marks to secure admission to the course.

A biology student can technically apply for a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Information Technology (IT) at L D College of Engineering but should meet the eligibility criteria specified by the institute. Generally, PCM background is needed for courses in engineering. Since you are a biology student, you won't be meeting the requirement unless you've taken additional courses or bridge programs. Admission is generally based on GUJCET (Gujarat Common Entrance Test) or JEE scores, but some institutes may also consider other criteria. It's advisable to check L D College's specific admission guidelines for biology students.

A percentile of 68 in JEE Mains 2024 is really a bad chance for getting into any NIT or IIT because the cutoff ranks for the best colleges are always far lower than 68. Nevertheless, you will have a decent chance for getting admission to some of the lowest-ranked NITs or one of the new IITs, based on branch preference and competition. One would be advised to look for some other engineering college with less admission criteria or again appear for the JEE Mains in the next session in case of improved rank. Opening and closing ranks keep an eye in counseling.
