Hello Sir, what is the percentile to get seat in IIT and NIT this year ?For 95 percentile scored in this Feb , will candidate get NIT, in general category? Please explain this ?

Dear student,

First of all let me clear you one thing that you cannot get IIT by JEE Main exam, for IIT, you have first clear JEE Mai exam and then you will have sit for JEE Advanced exam and if you perform well in that examination then you will get seat in any of the 23 IITs.

Now I will answer your first question which is whether you will get any NIT on 95 percentile in JEE Main or not being a general category student. So let us do some analysis below.

If we look at the percentile you have mentioned then we will find that your general rank will be somewhere around 51150 - 57500.

You can check your rank yourself by going through our rank predictor tool. I am attaching the link for it below.

You should note that the actual rank and predicted rank can vary as it depends on various factors.

Now on this rank, there is very low chance that you will get seat in any NITs unless you belong to Noertheast states. You have chances to get few low cutoff branches if you participate in CSAB counseling.

Now coming to your next question that how much you should score to get an NIT being a general category student, then I will suggest you to score 97.5+ to get an NIT with a decent branch placement wise.

I will also suggest you give your best for the remaining attempts of JEE Main which will be held soon in this month(July). To go through the supplement designed by our experts to boost your JEE Main preparation. Below I am adding the link of it too.
