Ans: Sitansu Sir, Here is, How to Predict Your Son's Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main Results – A Step-by-Step Guide

Once the January JEE Main session results are declared, many students and JEE applicants start asking common questions about eligibility for specific institutes (NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, etc.) based on their percentile, category, preferred branch, and home state.

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 Son's Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your Son's JEE Main percentile
Your Son's category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
His Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
HIs 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 your son is interested in.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Son's 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 son's 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.

Ans: She will get, but she won't get top branches like CSE & ECE in top ranking NITs. Best of luck. Professor........................:)

Ans: You will get in any NITs. Only in top ranking NIT you may not get CSE & ECE. Best of luck. Professor..........................:)

Ans: Don't go for B.Ed. You will end up in school teaching. Go for research or college teaching. Prefer NET/SET and if possible go for Ph.D. Best of luck. Professor....................................:)

Ans: Very slim chance, see cut offs of Tier 3 college

Ans: May be in home state.

Ans: Depends on others performance and choice, score 90 is good chance

Ans: Hello Hashir
The percentile and other details are mentioned on your scorecard. Please read the score card carefully to know all the details. With the mentioned score, it is difficult to get admission to a Govt College. Try to score more in 2nd JEE attempt. Best of luck to you bright future. Thanks

Ans: Devendra Sir, The percentile is significantly lower for any of the aforementioned institutes. Recommend that he adequately prepares for the April Session. Consider developing alternative options by applying to an additional 3-4 entrance examinations and/or engaging in the counseling processes of various colleges within your State. A three-year degree program can serve as an additional backup option. Please arrange for an online Psychometric Test following his JEE-April Session to assess suitable career options. All the best for your Son's admissions!

Ans: Hello
you can get into Tier-2 NITs in CSE branch. Try controlling negatives and your percentile will improve & you can get into Tier-1 NITs too.

Ans: Hello Vinod
Congratulations for the good score.
Tier-1 NITs are difficult at this percentile but he will get CSE. Also, IIITs are a good option. Do consider them in JOSAA.

Ans: Hello,
There will not be any problem, at the time of counselling, you will be asked to submit an affidavit and it will be done.

Ans: Chance is less.

Ans: Hi, Given the percentile and category, there are possibilities for hope.

POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO!

Ans: Hi, it’s a bit challenging to get into an NIT.

Ans: Hi, congratulations on the marks you have scored. Possible options include NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, NIT Surathkal, NIT Calicut, NIT Rourkela, and NIT Jaipur.
Wishing you all the best.

POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO!

Ans: Hi Mohammed,
Since you belong to a minority section, there are possibilities for pursuing Chemical Engineering or, alternatively, Computer Science Engineering.
Best of luck.

Ans: If you have all the necessary credentials, you're likely to secure a public sector job. However, I encourage you to think more broadly and consider applying for private sector positions as well. Your salary and job title can change quickly, depending on your qualifications. Additionally, after gaining skills, knowledge, and experience over a few years, you might even consider starting your own business. Aim high!

Ans: Your query is unclear to me. You mentioned that you took the board exam in 2024, so why are you repeating it in 2025? The same goes for math. What are your next steps? Based on your future plans, you need to consider your options.

Ans: If you belong to General category you won't get CSE and ECE branch in Good NITs. But you will get other branches. In middle and low ranked NITs you will get all the branches. Best of luck. Professor..........................:)

Ans: With a 53 percentile in JEE Mains as an ST category student, securing a CSE branch in a highly ranked college like NITs or IIITs is unlikely, but you might have a chance at some lower-tier NITs or private engineering colleges. Best of luck. Professor....................:)

Ans: ELIGIBILITY RELATED TO AGE:
Eligibility for appearing in NEET (UG), as per related Regulations of NMC
and DCI are as follows:-
5.1.1. He/she has completed 17 years of age at the time of admission or will
complete that age on or before 31 December of the year of his/her
admission to the first year of the Undergraduate Medical Course.
Accordingly, the lower age limit shall be as under:
For Candidates of General (UR)/General-EWS born on or
before
31.12.2008
For Candidates of SC/ST/OBCNCL/
PwBD/PwD Category
5.1.2. Upper age limit: As per Letter No. U-11022/2/2022-UGMEB,
dated 09 March 2022 received from National Medical
Commission (NMC), Under Graduate Medical Education Board
(UGMEB) regarding the upper age limit, there is no upper age
limit.

ELIGIBILITY RELATED TO COURSE:
CODE: 06
B.Sc. Examination of an Indian University provided that
he/she has passed the B.Sc. Examination with not less than
two of the subjects Physics, Chemistry, Biology (Botany,
Zoology)/Biotechnology and further that he/ she has passed
the earlier qualifying examination with Physics, Chemistry,
Biology, and English.

KINDLY NOTE: Based on the facts and guidelines surrounding NEET, I would like to offer the following comments.
There is no need to worry about the age limit because the NTA is not concerned about your upper age limit. However, your educational qualifications must match the requirements. You fall under the Code 6 category.

If you have completed your undergraduate degree in Science (which you didn’t mention, but I’m predicting), consider whether stating your BSc is worthwhile. Ultimately, your eligibility depends on matching your Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) qualifications. If your HSC does not align with the requirements, you will not be eligible to appear for NEET. If you are eligible based on your HSC, then focus on your HSC score rather than Code 6.

Wishing you the best of luck!

Ans: Hi Kanakavalli,
Greetings.
You can definitely appear for NEET 2026. It can be very challenging to balance NEET preparation with your regular undergraduate course, especially since I don’t know much about your specific situation. Without understanding your circumstances, it’s difficult to provide tailored advice.

However, I suggest you consider the following factors:

1. Determine which option is more beneficial for you.
2. Assess the value of the less important option and whether it will be useful in the future.

Focus on what is superior and concentrate your efforts on that to achieve your goal. If something is not useful for your future, it may just be a waste of your time. Remember, time is more precious than money.

If it’s possible for you to manage both, go for it, as long as you are confident in your abilities. However, keep in mind that in the academic year 2026-27, you will be in your third year. By 2026, you will be eligible for MBBS admission. In that situation, it’s likely that you would choose to discontinue the undergraduate course you are currently pursuing.

Therefore, it would be wise to focus on NEET and work towards becoming eligible for it.

Ans: To effectively study PCB (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology), follow these practical steps: (1) Utilize YouTube Lectures Effectively – For each chapter, watch YouTube videos while keeping your textbook open. Read along with the lecture to reinforce understanding. (2) Identify and Clarify Doubts – While studying, note down difficult concepts or topics you don’t fully understand. Get them clarified using Google, textbooks, or by discussing them with friends, teachers, or family members. (3) Make Concise Short Notes – Prepare summary notes for each chapter, including important formulas, key concepts, and diagrams for quick revision. (4) Regular Revision is Key – Revise daily or weekly to ensure long-term retention. Consistency in revision helps in mastering concepts effectively. (5) Practice Difficult Questions Frequently – Focus on complicated, lengthy, and previously incorrect questions to strengthen your problem-solving skills. Regular practice improves accuracy and confidence. (6) Study During Your Most Productive Hours – Identify whether you are more focused during the morning, evening, or night and study difficult subjects during those high-productivity hours for better comprehension. (7) Follow the 45-10 Study Rule – Study for 45 minutes to 1 hour, then take a 10-minute break. Short breaks help maintain focus and prevent burnout. All the BEST for your Bright Future!

By following these strategies, you can optimize your study routine and improve your grasp of PCB concepts efficiently. ????????

Ans: Hello
Sorry to hear that. It is indeed unfortunate!
Since you have already resigned, which at times is advisable rather than continuing in a toxic work environment, it must be a matter of few days before you are out. Hence best way to deal with this is to simply complete your handing over/exit formalities smoothly without giving much heed to other negative things happening around you. In case it is getting real difficult you may discreetly escalate the matter to head of department/business etc. & am sure things will be looked into.
You should now actually put your complete focus on your new job search/career way forward.
All the Best !!

Ans: Hello Dear.
You have made a wise choice by joining offline classes for JEE preparation. You have already completed the syllabus and the examination process. You understand your strengths and weaknesses. Prepare a list of topics where you excel and those that need improvement. Attend all classes consistently. Clarify any doubts regarding topics and concepts you may have missed. Take all tests conducted in the classes. If possible, enroll in a top online test series platform. Aim to solve as many previous question papers as you can. Create a "Rankers File" for yourself, including all the essential formulas, summaries, and handwritten notes. This file will help you quickly revise all topics at any time. Maintain a safe distance from electronic gadgets. Concentrate solely on your studies and strive to study a minimum of 8-10 hours per day. To achieve success, hard work is essential. Best of luck for your bright future ahead.

Ans: Hello dear.
It is hard to say anything about NIT Surathkar and that too CSE branch. But your son will have a seat in one of the tier-2 NITs. You have to compromise with the branch. But if your is only interested in CSE, then surely he may seat in IIITs.

Follow me, if you like the reply.
Thanks
Radheshyam

Ans: Hello Ritika
No. Pass and fail do not depend on the practical marks. The practical marks are added in the subject marks. The total should be at least 35 marks or as the respective board decides. But if someone scores less than the minimum passing criterion, he/she will be treated as fail in that subject. Hence even if someone fails in a single subject, he is treated as FAIL.

Follow me, if you like the reply.
Thanks
Radheshyam

Ans: Hello dear.
Instead of aiming for minimum marks, always aim to score high. The cut-offs change every year. Yet to get admission in one of the Govt colleges, you need between 90-95 %tile.
