Hello candidate,

So, scoring 96 percentile in jee mains will get you any NIT, IIT, and GFTIs. You see, 96 percentile is a good score but it also depends on which year you gave the exam.

Moreover, GEN-EWS category has less cutoff as compare to open category, so you will get any NIT, IIT, and GFTI.

The category wise cutoff for 2021 is as follows:

EWS : MIN_PS_TOT -66.2214845 MAX_PS_TOT- 87.8950071

OBC-NCL : MIN_PS_TOT- 68.0234447 MAX_PS_TOT - 87.8950071

SC: MIN_PS_TOT- 46.8825338 MAX_PS_TOT - 87.8950071

ST: MIN_PS_TOT- 34.6728999 MAX_PS_TOT- 87.8474721

UR: MIN_PS_TOT- 87.8992241 MAX_PS_TOT - 100.0000000

UR-PH: MIN_PS_TOT- 0.0096375 MAX_PS_TOT - 87.8273359

I hope this helps.
