NIT

The required score and rank in JEE Main to get admission in a good NIT for B.Tech varies every year and depends on various factors such as the number of applicants, difficulty level of the exam, and availability of seats. However, based on previous year's cutoffs, a general category candidate needs to score at least 90-95 percentile in JEE Main and a minimum of 99-100 marks (out of 300) to have a chance of getting admission in a good NIT for B.Tech. In terms of rank, it also depends on the category of the candidate and the branch of B.Tech. Generally, for a good NIT, a general category candidate needs to have a rank within the range of 5,000-10,000 for popular branches such as Computer Science, Electronics and Communication, and Mechanical Engineering. For less popular branches, the rank requirement may be lower. However, it's important to note that meeting the cutoff score and rank does not guarantee admission as there are other factors that are taken into consideration such as the candidate's performance in the 12th board exam, availability of seats in the preferred branch, and other eligibility criteria. It is advisable to check the official website of JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) for the latest cutoff scores and admission criteria for the NITs and other participating institutions. JoSAA conducts the counseling process and admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs in India.

Hello Manisha Adhikari, your JEE Mains rank of about two and a half Lacs is reasonably okay but it may not fetch you a SEED in NIT etc. This is because the maximum number of seats available in these institutions is just about 50000 and out of these 50% are for various reserved categories so you can imagine how much is available for general category. If you are from EWS category then out of the 25000 seeds only 10% or available and in that also you are ranking is more than 40000. So you can SEE for yourself as to where you stand. But then admissions are a very funny process many time's surprising results come out and students way below in the ranking sometimes get admission. I will request you not to lose hope and take part in the admission process. To help you I am attaching a link that will take you to the college predictor prepared by Shiksha based on many previous years examinations. https://www.shiksha.com/engineering/jee-main-college-predictor
Best wishes to you.

The admission to National Institutes of Technology (NITs) is based on the JEE Main scores and the cutoffs for admission vary every year depending on several factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of candidates who appeared, and the number of seats available. As per the previous year's cutoffs, it may be difficult to get admission to the NITs with a score of 102 in JEE Mains, even if you belong to the OBC category and are a girl student. However, the cutoffs change every year, and the cutoffs for this year may be different from the previous years. In addition to the JEE Main scores, most NITs also have a minimum eligibility criterion for Class 12th marks. It is important to note that meeting the minimum eligibility criterion does not guarantee admission to an NIT. It is recommended to keep an eye on the JEE Main cutoffs for this year and the counseling process to have a better understanding of your chances of getting a seat in an NIT. You can also consider applying for other engineering colleges that accept JEE Main scores, including other centrally funded institutions, state-funded institutions, and private universities.

Hello Bhukya Nithin, even though your question was almost 1 year old I will be trying to answer it with the current scenario. National testing agency which conducts JEE Mains examination in multiple sessions declares the results session wise as well as overall fundamentally in the percentile form. They also publish percentile cutoffs for different categories of students. The students who have scored equivalent or more percentiles are only authorised to take part in the counselling for admission to NIT or equivalent institute. Till last year they had given relaxation of the condition of 75% in the 12th standard for admission into IIT but this year this condition has been restored and if you have cleared the cut off percentage but not scored 75% marks then you can definitely take part in admission process for NIT but cannot seek admissions in IIT. Below is the percentile declared as cut off by National testing agency. You have obtained 72 percentile and belonging to schedule tribe and hence you are eligible this participate in counselling for admission to NITs etc. *2023* :
Cut-off percentiles for JEE Advanced in different categories:-
General : 90.7788642
OBC NCL : 73.6114227
SC : 51.9776027
ST : 37.2348772
Gen EWS : 63.1114141
PwD : 0.0013527
Best wishes to you.
