IIIT Bangalore Alumni

Hello Komal,

With an 88 percentile in JEE Main under the EWS category, your estimated All India Rank (AIR) is approximately 12,000 . Admission to the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad is primarily based on JEE Main scores. In 2024, the closing ranks for various courses were:

• Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) : Ranks between 866 and 1687 .
  
  

• Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Ranks between 2136 and 4606 .

Given your estimated rank, it's unlikely to secure admission to CSE or ECE at IIIT Hyderabad. However, you might consider other IIITs where the closing ranks are higher. For instance, IIITM Gwalior had closing ranks of 935 for EWS candidates in 2022.

Additionally, explore other engineering colleges and consider alternative courses or specializations that align with your interests and rank.

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.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello!!

To give you a clear idea about which IITs you might get with 90.8 percentile in JEE Main (OBC category), we need to keep a few things in mind:

1. Estimate Your Rank:

With 90.8 percentile in JEE Main and OBC category, your category rank is approximately between 30,000 to 40,000, though this can vary slightly year to year.

2. JEE Advanced Eligibility:

You need to be among the top 2.5 lakh candidates (including all categories) in JEE Main to be eligible for JEE Advanced.

With 90.8 percentile and OBC reservation, you might be just at the borderline or slightly below the cutoff for JEE Advanced eligibility.

If you're eligible for JEE Advanced, then your performance in that exam will determine your IIT admissions, not JEE Main.

3. Admission Possibilities:

IITs do not admit based on JEE Main percentile – only through JEE Advanced.

NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs take admission based on JEE Main. At 90.8 percentile (OBC), you may get:

Lower branches (like Metallurgy, Chemical, Civil) in newer NITs (e.g., NIT Mizoram, NIT Meghalaya)

IIITs and GFTIs like IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Una, etc., in lower branches

What You Can Do:

Check if you're eligible for JEE Advanced (the official list will be released by NTA).

If yes, then prepare hard for JEE Advanced – that’s your real gateway to IITs.

If not, look for options in NITs/IIITs through JoSAA counseling with your JEE Main score.
