i got 50.9 precentile in jee mains can I get a good private college ?

Dear Aspirant,

It is quite hard to predict the exact situation as it varies from college to college.

Most private colleges do not just accept the JEE score, they also consider board exam or other entrance examination marks for admission and hence it depends on which college you are looking for and how well you have performed in other exams.

Generally, it might be quite difficult to get admission based on this percentile as the seats for BTech are quite competitive . 75 + percentile is a safe one to consider.

Let me give you a few examples

1. Amrita - Only 30 percentage of the seats are filled via JEE Mains category and hence to get competitive branches like CSE, you'll need to get 97+ percentile and to get admission you might need 95+.

2. SASTRA - Even though the 70 percentage of seats are filled via JEE Category, the seats are highly competitive. 75 percentage weightage is given for your board marks and get you'll need 90+ percentile and 97 + percentage to get in boards

3. Thapar - The cut off for outsiders Punjab Student have been 85 + percentile for the JEE Mains brach.

4. Symbiosis, Pune - The cut off is again easily above 85 for good branches

Hence, I would recommend you to try to get admission via board exam marks or via other entrance examinations like VITEEE, AEEE, MAHE etc.
