Hello aspirant,

You might not get admission into prestigious NITs like Trichy if your JEE Mains score is around 79 percentile, but other NITs, including NIT Agartala, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Raipur, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Durgapur, NIT Goa, NIT Puducherry, etc., do admit applicants with this score.

Thank you

Hello Mohit,

With 79.8 percentile in ST category, you have a good chance of getting an NIT, especially in branches like Civil, Metallurgy, Biotechnology, or lower-demand branches. Top NITs may be difficult, but newer or lower-ranked NITs could be possible.

Your chances depend on:

• Home state quota (if you have one in any NIT)
• Cut-offs from previous years
• Choice of branch

Check JoSAA cut-offs from previous years to get a better idea of which NITs you might get.

I would recommend you to use JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank or percentile.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

With a 79.8 percentile in JEE Mains and belonging to the ST category, your chances of getting into an NIT are uncertain. The cutoff percentiles for NITs vary depending on the institute and branch.

Typically, the lowest cutoff for NITs is around 70-80 percentile for non-CSE branches in less competitive NITs.¹ However, this cutoff can vary from year to year.

Some NITs that might be within your reach with a 79.8 percentile are:

- NIT Mizoram: Known for having a relatively lower cutoff, around 90-95 percentile for CSE.

- NIT Patna: Has a cutoff range of 90-95 percentile for CSE.

- NIT Silchar: May have a lower cutoff, around 94.9-99.4 percentile.

Keep in mind that these are general trends and the actual cutoffs may vary. It's essential to check the official JoSAA and CSAB websites for the latest cutoffs and admission trends.

To get a better idea of your chances, I recommend using online college predictors, such as the JEE Main College Predictor 2025.

With 79.8 percentile in JEE Mains under the ST category , you have a fair chance of securing a seat in an NIT , especially in branches with lower demand. Admission depends on factors like home state quota, branch preferences, and cutoff trends .
