Ans: With a 95.00 percentile in the General category, you can expect admission into a mid-tier NIT with less competitive branches, such as Civil or Mechanical Engineering. Sometimes admission might also be possible in better NITs. Both Civil and Mechanical are also good options.

Ans: Hello Dear.
You are eligible, provided you obtain a Central OBC NCL Certificate. This will ensure your eligibility for reservations in central institutions. Also, I suggest "Consult Admission Brochures" to know the specific admission guidelines of the institution you're applying to, as requirements may vary. By ensuring that your OBC certificate meets these criteria, you can confidently apply to engineering colleges in Delhi under the OBC reservation category.
Follow me if you like the reply. Thanks

Ans: It is possible to get into NIT, but it depends on the availability due to heavy competition in the respective branches (ECE or electrical). Keep an eye on the JoSAA website for further information.

Ans: Dear Tilak, Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main 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 | Convert the Percentile to AIR, based on the Formula available in Google.
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.

Ans: Hi Pinku,

According to the Assam State Government guidelines released on January 29, 2022, the API score calculation takes into account the scores from the 10th, 12th, undergraduate (UG), and postgraduate (PG) examinations. For the 10th and 12th grades, candidates are required to have completed their courses, which can be either the High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) or an equivalent exam, as well as the Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate (HSSLC) or an equivalent exam. Notably, the guidelines do not mention anything regarding improvement marks, which implies that these may also be accepted. Additionally, the distribution of marks for the 10th grade is based on the scores achieved by the candidate in the qualifying exam.
There’s no need to worry; just move forward.

BEST OF LUCK.

Ans: Hi Nancy,

Your name matches with the following records: the 10th mark sheet, Aadhar card, and birth certificate; however, there is an issue with your 12th mark sheet.

If you don’t have time to correct this, you can take the following steps:

1. Contact a nearby Notary Public for guidance on obtaining a "Same Person Certificate."
2. Create a DigiLocker account and download all your records, including the 12th mark sheet. DigiLocker is linked to your Aadhar ID, which can help you manage this issue temporarily.

Just remember to apply for and obtain a fresh 12th mark sheet with the corrected name later on.

Best of luck!

Ans: Manoj, IIIT Delhi, through JAC Delhi, places more importance on candidates from Delhi, especially in the highly competitive CSE field. The admission requirements for IIIT-D use JEE Main scores plus bonus points, giving more weight to candidates from Delhi. The cutoffs for outside Delhi General branches like CSE, CSAM, and CSB are typically in the top 30k to 50k places. IIIT-Delhi is out of reach even in spot rounds with your rank of 138k. Other JAC Delhi colleges include DTU, NSUT, IIIT-D, and IGDTUW (only for women). IGDTUW is a good choice for women, as fields like ME, ECE, and IT sometimes close at 70k-90k ranks but rarely go above 100k. At 138k rank, the chances are very low even for IGDTUW.

Back-up plans include CSAB special rounds, private universities/colleges that take your JEE rank. With a 90.66 percentile, you have a good chance of getting into good colleges/universities in CSE or ECE during state quota rounds. The final answer is IIIT-Delhi: ? At rank 138k, it's not possible. Other JAC Delhi schools, like IGDTUW: Not likely at all, not even in spot rounds

Pay attention to CSAB, State Counseling, and Private Colleges.
