I have got 95.5 percentile in JEE Mains. By previous year cutoffs I am not getting any NIT as I belong to General category. What should I do

Hello Rajat,

As per the data mentioned by you, I suggest you, prepare for Advance and try to crack it. Or try in some other private universities.

Since you got, 230 in BITSAT, I don't think you get any of the branches in any of the campuses. Also, 92% in class 12th, can't get you to some prestigious college that accepts Board marks, such as DU, etc.

So your only option is to use the JEE Main percentile. Don't go for NITs, instead try to get into some good private colleges like Jamia Millia Islamia, Jaypee Institute, Thapar, or some other institutes like this. Try for BIT Mesra, BIT Ranchi, HBTU university in Kanpur, etc... These are one of the best choices for candidates with considerable rank in JEE Main.

You may try in DU Colleges, but the hopes are very less.

You may also consider some good colleges such as Chandigarh University, Shiv Nadar University, etc... These give scholarships as well as admissions based on your Board marks. There will be several good colleges under your state. You may consider those if you wish.

In case you are left with no choice, try for colleges in Pune. There are many colleges there. In case you have applied for MHCET, try colleges under that, there are several good colleges such as COE, Pune under that which are better than NITs.

The last option for you is to drop one year and appear for JEE main again. Please opt this option only if you think you are confident enough to crack it in the next attempt.

Hope this Helps.

Regards.

hey Rajat

don't lose hope! yes i know you will not going to get admissions in any NIT as per your percentage but if you are interested in engineering then you can wait till the last rounnds off many NITs or you can try some good private colleges like BITSAT VIT etc

you can also search for some good private and government colleges which accepts jee mains score

you can also try some colleges which takes admissions on merit based as your CBSE board marks are very good

so dont lose hope and keep going

best of luck
