JEE

In JEE Main, an 86.86 percentile normally corresponds to a rank of approximately 140,000 to 150,000. However, this can fluctuate slightly based on the exam's complexity and the number of test-takers each year. For a general-category student, getting into Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at prestigious government colleges may be difficult with this rank. Lower-class NITs: There may be openings in CSE-related fields like software engineering or information technology (IT) at some of the less popular NITs. State of Residence Quota: Because of the state quota, your chances may be enhanced if you are a resident of the home state of a certain NIT.While it could be difficult for a general candidate to get into one of the top government colleges for CSE with an 86.86 percentile in JEE Main.

If you are from Uttarakhand, fall under the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category, and have a JEE Mains rank of about one lakh, you have a good chance of getting into some of the branches of Govind Ballabh Pant Institute of Engineering and Technology (GBPEC), Pauri Garhwal. The particular cutoffs for the EWS category, which change every year depending on variables including the volume of applications, availability of seats, and overall performance of candidates, will determine admission to various branches. With approximately a JEE Mains rank of one lakh, together with your EWS category and home state quota, you stand a good chance of being admitted to GBPEC, Pauri Garhwal's civil, mechanical, electrical, production, electronics, and communication engineering disciplines.

For admission to a variety of engineering schools, such as GFTIs, NITs, IIITs, and IITs, JEE counseling is required.Both general admissions and the open category seat filling process employ the CRL rank. It is the total ranking that a candidate receives as a result of their JEE exam performance.The category rank is taken into account for reserved category seats (such as SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, and PwD). Seats allotted for the candidate's category are distributed using this rank, which is unique to that category.While CRL is used for open category seats, it is vital to remember that candidates in reserved categories will still have their seats assigned based on the best rank—either their category rank or the CRL—depending on the criterion for seat allocation.

It is quite unlikely that someone who scored a 1,000,000 in the JEE Main will be admitted to Delhi Technological University (DTU), particularly if they are not from Delhi. There is fierce rivalry for admission to DTU, one of the best engineering schools in India. Generally, DTU admissions cutoff ranks are substantially lower. The cutoff ranks for general category students typically fall between the thousands and lower ten thousand, contingent upon the engineering discipline and category (general, OBC, SC, ST, etc.). Students who live in Delhi have a sizable reservation at DTU. The cutoff ranks are higher and the competition is significantly more intense for non-residents. 

Candidates can appear in JEE Main irrespective of their percentage in class 12. Candidates must note that there is no requirement for JEE Main eligibility marks in 12th for appearing in the exam. The eligibility criteria of 75% marks is applicable only at the time of taking admission to the institute. Only those candidates who have passed the Class 12/equivalent examination in 2022, 2023, or appearing in 2024 are eligible to appear in JEE Main 2024. Candidates who passed the Class 12/equivalent examination in 2021 or before as well as those who will appear in such examination in 2025 or later are not eligible to appear in JEE Main 2024.

One of Shiv Nadar University's most popular specialisations is BTech CSE. Candidates can apply using their JEE Mains results to be considered for admission to Shiv Nadar University's BTech programme. The candidate is qualified for direct admission if their score is 80 percent or higher. The candidate should apply using the results of the SNUSAT and APT tests if their score is less than the 80 percentile. Applicants who score in the 77.7 percentile on JEE Main may be able to get into SNU's BTech programme. In Class 12, the overall criterion is at least 65%. Candidates with a similar or higher score can enrol in SNU Noida's BTech CSE degree with ease.
