NIT

The admission process for the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) is based on a candidate's JEE Main score, which includes both the percentile and the All India Rank (AIR). While a higher percentile increases your chances of getting admission to the NITs, it is not a guarantee. The cutoffs for admission to the NITs vary each year and are determined based on a variety of factors, including the difficulty level of the exam, the number of seats available, and the number of applicants. Hence, it is difficult to predict with certainty whether a candidate with a percentile of 98.2999 will get admission to an NIT. However, a percentile of 98.2999 is an excellent score, and you have a good chance of securing admission to an NIT, especially if you perform well in the counseling process and have selected a preference order of colleges carefully. I suggest you keep an eye on the official website of Joint Seat Allocation Authority JoSAA and the NITs you are interested in applying to for the latest information on the admission process and cutoffs. Additionally, you may consider applying to other institutes that accept JEE Main scores, such as IIITs and GFTIs, as a backup option.
