Nit's give admission on the basis of your jee main rank, not on the basis of your 12 standard marks. You can take admission into state college on the basis of your 12 marks and if you are jee selected. You can get a good nit if you have a percentile of atleast 95 , I can help you further if you provide me with your percentile then i can suggest you the best options for you.

Hi Pritipriya,

First, you need to understand how the top 20 percentile is calculated.

It is calculated by counting the marks in FIVE basic subjects which are-

1. Physics

2. Chemistry

3. Maths

4. English or any other language

5. Any optional subject like EVS


Marks are calculated out of 500 and then JoSSA releases a list of top 20 percentile in early July.


In 2017, the cutoff of Maharashtra State Board for the general ca tegory was 343 out of 500 and for obc-ncl, it was 344.

In 2018, it was 361 for general and 362 for the obc-ncl category.


Hope this helps you.

All the best!!!
