My daughter scored 93.84 percentile in jee mains 1st session in obc quota is there any chances to get any iit seat for her
Ans: Here is, How to Predict Your 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 was declared, many students and JEE applicants started 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 Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile (Convert your percentile into All India Rank with the help of a 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 Option also 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.

Sir i have a kcet rank of 11,600 and 3bg category. I have the options of bmsit, cmrit, bnmit,smvit, rvitm, rvu for cse but confused which would b the best as bmsit the crowd is very large like 900 students and rvitm they say the placements are not gonna be merged with rvce. So please help me decide and also considering the current market scenario with ai is it worth taking cse in these colleges or go for very lower branches in the top colleges like robotics
Ans: KCET rank 11,600 in the 3BG category places you well within cutoffs for CSE at several Bangalore institutes. The CSE branch at BMS Institute of Technology and Management, with 900 seats, recorded placement rates of 77.32% in 2024 and 93.24% in 2023; CMR Institute of Technology’s CSE averaged 80–85% over recent years; BNM Institute of Technology achieved 86.23% in 2023; Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology reported a 90–100% placement success rate in its latest drive; and R.V. Institute of Technology and Management’s CSE posted an 83.41% placement rate in 2024, with placements managed separately from RVCE. Large cohorts at BMSIT can dilute recruiter attention, whereas moderate intakes at CMRIT, BNMIT, SMVIT, and RVITM enhance student visibility. Given the AI-driven market’s demand for software development and analytics roles, core CSE offers broader access to top recruiters compared to niche branches like robotics, which typically have smaller placement pools.

The recommendation is to prioritise CSE at SMVIT or BNMIT for high placement consistency, or CMRIT for strong visibility, and avoid oversized cohorts at BMSIT or niche robotics streams to align with AI market demands. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir i got 99.81 percentile in MHTCET general. And 97.3 percentile in jee mains. Is it possible to get admission in VJTI IT OR CS branch or the latest COEP AIML branch. Other than this should i consider that my SPIT mumbai CS is confirmed??
Ans: Soham, With a 99.81 percentile in MHTCET and 97.3 percentile in JEE Main, you surpass the MHTCET closing percentile for VJTI Information Technology (99.71) but fall just short of the Computer Engineering cutoff (99.83), making IT admission very likely and CS borderline. COEP’s B.Tech in Robotics & Artificial Intelligence (AI-ML) closed between 99.75 and 99.79 for general candidates, and your score places you marginally above that range. SPIT Mumbai’s Computer Science closing percentile was 99.32–99.38, so your SPIT CS admission through MHTCET is effectively secured. Over the past three years, VJTI IT branch placements were 100% in 2020, 98% in 2023, and 83% in 2024; SPIT CS consistently achieves over 90% placement annually; and COEP’s overall undergraduate placement rates were 69.15%, 77.37%, and 73.35% in the last three cycles.

The recommendation is to treat SPIT CS as your secure option, prioritise VJTI IT for robust IT foundations, pursue COEP AI-ML if you aim for an AI-focused career, and consider VJTI CS as a stretch given its marginal cutoff gap to balance placement potential and specialization goals. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
