Hello Nikhil,

With a 96 percentile in JEE Mains and being a ward of CRPF personnel , you have good chances of securing admission to engineering colleges under the defense quota and your general category rank.

Here are the possibilities for you:

1. Top Engineering Colleges

• NITs (National Institutes of Technology) : Your percentile might allow you to secure admission to NITs in various states, depending on the branch you opt for and your category rank.
  
  
• IIITs (Indian Institutes of Information Technology) : You could also consider IIITs across India, which offer good courses in Computer Science and IT.
  
  
• Government Engineering Colleges : In states where defense wards are given preference, you can expect a good chance of getting into reputed state government engineering colleges.
  
  2. Defense Quota (CRPF Ward)
  
  
• Being a CRPF ward , you might get reservation benefits under the defense quota in some central or state government institutions, where defense personnel’s children are given preferential treatment.
  
  
• Some state and central government engineering colleges might have special seats for wards of defense personnel.
  
  3. State Engineering Colleges
  
  
• In addition to NITs and IIITs, consider state-level engineering colleges , especially those where there are quotas or seats reserved for defense personnel . Many states provide a separate allocation of seats for the children of defense officers.
  
  4. Other Considerations
  
  
• Cutoffs and Branches : Your preferred branch and the cutoff trends of various colleges will also play a key role. Computer Science, Electrical, Civil, and Mechanical are generally more competitive than other branches, so if you have a preference for these branches, it would be better to consider all possible options.
  
  Steps to Follow:
  
  
• Check Quota Policies : Verify the specific reservation policies for defense personnel at each college.
  
  
• Visit College Websites : Look at the cutoff trends for your preferred branches.
  
  
• Counseling : Participate in JEE Mains counseling (JoSAA) to explore available seats under different categories.

Your 96 percentile is promising, so keep an eye on the cutoff trends and apply to the colleges that align with your preferences and goals.
