i got 82.4 percentile in jee mains , I belong to obc category can i get seat in any nits and iiits . i am from andhra pradesh

Hello aspirant,

Now being OBC candidate if you want to get seat in NIT through Other state quota then you should try to secure at least 90-92 percentile but if it is through Home state quota then you should target for 87-89 percentile.

With your percentile it is difficult to get seat in NITS or IITS.

You can use JEE-Main Rank Predictor to predict your rank :-
