Hello,

To secure ECE at NITK (NIT Surathkal) under the EWS category (male, home state), you should focus on the following:

1. Target Percentile:

• Aim for 99+ percentile overall in JEE Mains.

2. Subject-wise Percentile Goals:

• Mathematics: Secure at least 95-97+ percentile. As mathematics often acts as a tiebreaker, prioritize this.
• Physics: Target 92-95+ percentile. Physics typically has moderate weight in ranking tiebreakers.
• Chemistry: Maintain 90-92+ percentile. Focus on NCERT and scoring topics.

3. Mock Test Scores:

• Mathematics: 65–75 marks out of 100.
• Physics: 55–65 marks out of 100.
• Chemistry: 50–60 marks out of 100.

4. Final Score Goal:

• An overall score of 200–220/300 in JEE Mains is realistic for ECE at NITK under the EWS category, considering trends.

Hope it helps !

It is very difficult to predict safe score as cutoffs vary each year as the cut offs depend on the number of applicants the difficulty level of the exam and the reservation seats. based on the past Trends and considering your desire for NIT ECE with EWS category. You must score at least 100+ in maths as math holds a weightage of 50% in JEE main a score of 80+ in physics and 70+ in chemistry. Then you might be in the safe side. you might have to score more than them as the competition varies every year. Scoring well above these targets will increase your chances in securing your seats in your preferred colleges. And even if the cutoff Rises this will become your safety net.
