JEE

With 95.94 percentile in JEE Mains, you have a strong chance at Thapar University for most branches 👍

What you can expect:

• ✅ CSE / CSE (AI/ML) / COE – Good chances (may depend on category & counselling round)

• ✅ ECE / ENC / EEE – Very safe

• ✅ Other branches – Almost confirmed

Thapar admissions are primarily based on JEE Main percentile (50% seats) and 12th board marks (50% seats).

👉 Make sure you:

• Apply through the official Thapar admission portal

• Participate in counselling rounds

• Keep backup branch preferences ready

If you tell me your 12th percentage + category (if any), I can give a more accurate estimate.

Honestly speaking, chances are very low.

With 75% in boards and 26 percentile in JEE Main, getting admission to Thapar University (TIET) for BTech is unlikely, even in lower-demand branches. Thapar's cut-offs are usually much higher, especially for JEE-based admissions.

You might have a very slim chance only if:

• Seats remain vacant in later counselling rounds

• You're open to non-core / less demanded branches

• You have Punjab domicile or reserved category
