नमस्ते मैम, मैं एक लड़के से प्यार करती हूँ..हम दोनों अलग-अलग राज्यों से हैं। हम दोनों सॉफ्टवेयर इंजीनियर के रूप में काम करते हैं और अच्छा कमाते हैं। मैं 24 साल की हूँ और वह 26 साल का है। मेरे माता-पिता मेरे लिए रिश्ता देख रहे थे इसलिए मैंने उनसे कहा कि मुझे एक लड़का पसंद है..जिस दिन से मैंने उन्हें बताया है उन्होंने मेरी राय तक नहीं पूछी है। मेरी माँ बस यही दोहराती रहती है कि तुम्हारे पिताजी मर जाएँगे क्योंकि उन्हें उच्च रक्तचाप और मधुमेह है..तुम पिताहीन हो जाओगी..मेरे पिताजी कहते हैं कि वह जहर पी लेंगे और मुझे भी मार देंगे..उन्होंने खुद मुझसे कहा कि समाज में उनकी छवि उनके लिए अधिक महत्वपूर्ण है और किसी ने मुझे अपनी पसंद के लड़के से शादी करने का अधिकार नहीं दिया है..मेरे माता-पिता मुझे अपने घर बुलाते रहते हैं ताकि वे मुझे मेरी नौकरी छुड़वा सकें..यह बताने के बाद भी कि मैं एक लड़के से प्यार करती हूँ मेरे माता-पिता मेरी पीठ पीछे मेरे लिए एक लड़का तय कर देते हैं..वे कहते हैं कि जिस लड़के की तलाश वे मेरे लिए कर रहे हैं वह एकदम सही होगा..अब मेरे पिताजी मुझे घर आने के लिए कह रहे हैं..कृपया मुझे सुझाव दें कि मुझे क्या करना चाहिए..क्या मुझे भाग जाना चाहिए या उन्हें मना लेना चाहिए

Ans: Aditi, Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main/Advanced Results – A Step-by-Step Guide

Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories.
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.
Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.

Also, please have some other back-up options instead of relying only on JEE/JoSAA/NITs/IIITs/GFTIs.
