NIT

The cut-off marks for admission to the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) vary every year and are dependent on various factors such as the number of candidates applying, difficulty level of the exam, and availability of seats. However, based on your JEE Main score of 165 and your OBC-NCL category, it may be difficult for you to get admission in the NITs of Surathkal, Trichy or Warangal as the cut-off for these institutes is generally higher. To know your chances of admission in various NITs, you can check the previous year's cut-off marks. It is also advisable to keep a track of the official website of Joint Seat Allocation Authority JoSAA for the latest updates on the admission process and cut-off marks. Additionally, you can also apply for other good engineering colleges and universities based on your JEE Main score and your preference for the course and location.

Based on your JEE Main CRL rank of 68250 and category as OBC, it may be a little difficult to secure a seat in Electronics and Communication Engineering (EC) branch at NITs or IIITM. However, you still have a chance to get admission to some of the NITs and IIITM, especially if you belong to the home state of Madhya Pradesh. To get an idea of the possible colleges that you may get with your rank, you can refer to the previous year's cutoffs for the EC branch in various NITs and IIITM. You can also use the JEE Main college predictor tool available online to get an estimated list of colleges that you can apply for based on your rank. It is important to note that the cutoff ranks may vary each year based on various factors like the difficulty level of the exam, the number of applicants, and the number of seats available. Therefore, it is advisable to keep all your options open and apply to multiple colleges to increase your chances of getting admission to your desired branch.

Congratulations on your JEE Main percentile score of 94.9865 in the SC category. However, admission to the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) also depends on your class 12th performance, JEE Main rank, and the cutoff for the specific NIT and branch you are interested in. Based on your class 12th percentage of 64.4, it might be difficult to get admission in a top NIT for popular branches like Computer Science, Electronics, and Mechanical Engineering. However, you might have a chance of getting admission in less popular branches like Metallurgical Engineering, Mining Engineering, or Chemical Engineering, depending on the cutoff rank for your category and the specific NIT you are interested in. It is important to keep in mind that the cutoff ranks for admission to NITs vary every year based on various factors, such as the number of applicants, the number of seats available, and the difficulty level of the JEE Main exam. So, it is always a good idea to check the previous year's cutoff ranks for your category and the specific NIT and branch you are interested in, to get an idea of your chances of getting admission. Overall, it is important to have a backup plan and apply to multiple colleges to increase your chances of getting admission in a good college with the desired branch.

Congratulations to your son on securing 96 percentile in JEE Mains! However, NITs and many other engineering colleges have eligibility criteria that require candidates to have a minimum percentage of marks in their 12th standard board exams. Typically, candidates should have scored at least 75% marks in their 12th standard board exams or should be in the top 20 percentile of their respective boards to be eligible for admission in NITs. However, there is a relaxation of 5% marks for candidates belonging to SC/ST/PwD categories. Since your son has scored 72% marks in his 12th standard board exams, he may not be eligible for admission in NITs. However, he can still consider applying to other engineering colleges that offer admission based on JEE Mains scores and have a lower eligibility criterion for 12th standard board exams. There are many private engineering colleges and state universities that may offer admission to your son based on his JEE Mains percentile and 12th standard board exam marks. You can research and apply to such colleges and universities based on your son's preferences for location, college ranking, course options, and other factors. I would also suggest you to keep a backup plan and consider alternative career options in case your son is unable to secure admission in engineering colleges.
