Your home state quota depends on your domicile certificate and state of permanent residence (usually Tamil Nadu if you have a domicile there). However, if you have studied XI and XII in Karnataka, you may also be eligible for state quota in Karnataka, depending on specific rules.

For NIT admissions, if Tamil Nadu is your home state, you will have home quota in NIT Trichy; otherwise, you will be considered under the other state quota.

With 94 percentile in JEE Mains, your chances of getting a seat in NITs depend on category and cutoff trends. You may get branches like Mechanical, Civil, Metallurgy, or Chemical Engineering in lower NITs under other state quota.

Hello Priya,

Your home state quota depends on your state of eligibility, which is generally the state where you completed Class 12. Since you did Class XI and XII in Karnataka, your home state quota will be Karnataka, not Tamil Nadu.

Regarding NIT admission, with 94 percentile in JEE Mains, your chances of getting a seat depend on the cutoff trends, category, and branch preference. You may get branches like Mechanical, Civil, Metallurgy, or Chemical Engineering in lower-ranked NITs, but getting CSE, IT, or ECE in top NITs will be difficult.

I would recommend you to use JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to predict your Rank.

Hello,

Generally home state quota or domicile certificate is consider for the state in which you are born, no matter from where you have completed 12th, or schooling so, here in your case home state is your domicile state i.e TAMIL NADU, for which you get benefit for home state quota.

you can apply for NITS in Tamil Naidu, like NIT TRICHY, if you belong to general category then least chance of getting top branches like CSE, but you can apply in other branches like ECE, CIVIL etc.

Hello,

Since you completed your 11th and 12th in Karnataka but belong to Tamil Nadu, your home state quota depends on your domicile (usually based on birth certificate, parental residence, or domicile certificate).

• If you have a domicile certificate from Tamil Nadu , your home state is Tamil Nadu (NIT Trichy).
• If you have a domicile certificate from Karnataka , your home state is Karnataka (NIT Surathkal).

1. NIT Admission Chances :

   • With 94 percentile in JEE Main , your rank is around 60,000–80,000 (approximate).
   • Admission chances depend on category (General, OBC, SC/ST) and seat availability.

2. Branch Possibilities:

   • Top NITs (NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal) : Difficult for core branches like CSE, ECE, Mechanical.
   • Mid-tier NITs : You may get branches like Civil, Metallurgy, or Biotechnology.
   • Lower NITs : Better chances for EEE, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering.

You can use the JEE Main College Predictor tool to predict which college you can get based on your score.

Hope you find it useful !

hi,

Your Home State (HS) quota for NIT admissions is based on the state where you completed Class 12 .

• Since you studied Class 11 & 12 in Karnataka , your Home State quota is Karnataka .
• Tamil Nadu will be considered under Other State (OS) quota .

This means you will get HS quota at NIT Surathkal (Karnataka) and OS quota for all other NIT

With 94 percentile in JEE Main (SC category, Female) , your expected SC rank is around 6,000–7,500 (approx).

• NITs have 50% seats reserved for Home State (HS) candidates → You have a better chance at NIT Surathkal (Karnataka) in the HS quota .
• You will also be eligible for OS quota in other NITs , but competition is higher

Based on past year cutoffs, here are some NITs & departments where you have a chance:

(A) NIT Surathkal (Home State Quota)

(B) Other NITs (Other State Quota)

hope this helps

With a 94 percentile, you've done exceptionally well. Since you completed your XI and XII in Karnataka but are originally from Tamil Nadu, your home state quota would be Tamil Nadu. According to the JoSAA rules, your home state is determined by your place of domicile, not where you studied.

Considering your percentile, you have a good chance of getting a seat in a top NIT. Based on the 2024 JoSAA cutoffs , with a 94 percentile, you might be eligible for branches like Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering in top NITs like NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, or NIT Surathkal. However, the actual seat allocation depends on various factors, including the number of candidates, seat availability, and the specific cutoffs for each institute and branch.

GOOD LUCK!!
