Hi

This is a bit difficult to predict the marks/percentile/rank required in JEE mains to get a seat in nit  as cut off  keeps changing every year  depending upon various factors like  number of students that appeared in the exam, kind of marks obtained by them , toughness level of the jee main examination , number of seats available for the branch you want etc.

When we go through previous year trend then ,

To get into nits you should try to get at least around 95 percentile to be on the safe side under open state if you are  from obc ncl

For example,

In round 6 of josaa counselling 2020 , for  gender neutral to get civil engineering   , closing rank  in nit sikkim for obc ncl category is provided below for open state :-

• Civil engineering :- 13352 obc rank

And 13352 obc rank is around overall 95 percentile. For rank vs marks vs percentile, you can visit

Or you can use rank predictor,

While under home state, you can get a seat with around 85- 90 percentile depending upon your home state

For example ,

49554 was closing OBC ncl closing rank for civil engineering for gender neutral in 6th round of josaa counselling in NIT Jalandar for home state which is around 85 percentile

You can check the same at

Hey!

To get admission in top NITs with most considered branches  candidates need to have minimum 94 percentile in jee mains. According to the previous year cutoffs, candidates upto 40,000 rank got admission in NITs with the preferred branches.

For an obc candidate, 92+ percentile would keep you on the same side of admission in NITs.

Hope it helped to clear your delimma.

Thank you
