if sc category gets 81% in jee mains then any chance there to get free seat

Hello Kajal,

With 81 percentile in JEE Mains under the SC category, you have a good chance of getting a government seat (free seat) in NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs through JoSAA counselling. You may get branches like Civil, Mechanical, Metallurgy, or Chemical Engineering in lower-ranked NITs or better branches in newer NITs and IIITs.

For state quota seats, check your home state NIT cutoff as the chances improve with the home state reservation.

I would recommend you to use JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank or percentile.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.
