Hello Piyush,

Congratulations for your result. In order to predict anything before first we need to find the exact rank. It is quite difficult to predict the exact rank as the trends changes every year because it depends on many factors like number of students appeared, shift, toughness, etc.

But we can predict your result based on the previous trends. Since you have not mentioned the category so considering it to be general. With 88 percentile your CRL-AIR will be around 122760 - 138000 . You can verify your rank by using our rank predictor tool which is given below:

Hello aspirant,

See since the JEE mains 2022 Official Cutoff has not been released yet. So referring to the previous year JEE mains 2021 Cutoff, the cutoff for JEE mains 2021 for all categories Are as listed below :

CRL - 88-100

EWS ---------87.8950071

OBC-NCl -----------68.0234447

SC-------------46.8825338

St-----------34.6728999

So, according to the previous year JEE mains cutoff, and since you have not mentioned your category, if you belong to the general category then you are not eligible JOSAA counselling, but if you belong to any of the other Categories (EWS, SC, OBC, ST) then you are surely eligible for JOSAA counselling and thus for getting NIT's.

I hope that this will help.

See, according to the cut-offs of previous years for Joint Entrance Examination Main, the cut-off percentiles for the General category is as follows:

2021: 34.6728999
2020: 39.0696101
2019: 44.3345172

So, according to this, you might not be able to clear the cut-offs, however if you manage to scrape through the cut-off, you will not get any good NITs. So, keep on preparing for next attempt.
