NIT

Hello Madhulatha, I am afraid that you are quest for getting a Seat in the branch of CSE while having ranking of 35000 in JEE Mains examination is not going to be difficult. This is so because there are just about 40000 seeds in total across all the NITs and GFTIs and equivalent institutes. Out of these seats, the quota for OBC NCL at 27% will indicate that there are about 1600 seats for this category. In addition to this almost every student gives this branch as the first choice, and you have about 35000 students from OBC NCL ahead of you and finding for a very small number of seats. But then admission process sometimes throws up many surprising results and hence if you qualified the cut off percentile that will be declared by National testing agency then you must take part in the admission process. Else you can also think of taking 1 year off and utilising this time for concentrated studies so that by next year you would be getting much better ranking in JEE Mains examination and as a result you can get your decide branch. Best wishes to you.

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.
