I have got 96.45 %ile in jee mains 2026.
I got nit at this %ile?
Ans: Ankit, Yes, with 96.45 percentile you can get into newer NITs like Agartala, Mizoram, Sikkim, or Manipur for branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Chemical—especially via Home State quota in later JoSAA rounds (5-6). JoSAA 2024-25 data shows closing ranks 40-60k (95-97%ile) for these; top NITs CSE need 99%ile+ but mid-tier ECE borderline possible. Aim strategically—use HS advantage, if applicable. Important Disclaimer: Admission estimates mentioned above are indicative only, based on historical JoSAA data. Cutoffs fluctuate due to exam difficulty, seat matrix changes, reservation policies, branch preferences, and counselling rounds.
Recommendation: Diversify applications across 4-5 private engineering exams alongside JEE/JoSAA for optimal admission prospects beyond the competitive IIT/NIT/IIIT ecosystem. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
