my son got 98.99 in Jee main January and interested in cse. General category. Home State - Chandigarh What other comparable and best exam may be given apart from JEE Mains

HELLO SIR
since it is very difficult to predict the exact rank but we do have a backup we have a formula to calculate the expected rank that is (100 – Total percentile) x 869010/100.So according to formula your expected rank for present percentile for January session comes out to be 8777. Now the expected rank might change depending on the no of candidates appearing the april session. For ex if 12 lakh candidate appear the april session then just replace 869010 by 12 lakhs. But if you score above 85 percentile then you have a very decent chance of qualifying jee mains.
WEll with the present percentile he may get some good colleges.
But get TOP 5 NIst in CSE branch might seem alittle difficult for general categorey.
No worries since you have an april attempt left and most importantly baap of the exams i,e Advance which may directly lead you into IIts.In the april session just try to score a percentile above 99.6+ so that top 5 NITS are in your hand.
