My grand son 88.9437 percentile and air in ews gen .26453 and all india rank 171310 please tell govt IIT.
Ans: The percentile you mentioned is for JEE Main, which is used primarily for admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, not IITs. Admission to IITs is based on JEE Advanced ranks, which are separate. You have not mentioned your grandson's home state also. At your grandson's rank, top NITs/IIITs and popular branches like CSE/ECE are generally unlikely; chances are better in some lower-demand branches in newer/lower-cutoff NITs or IIITs, and especially in several GFTIs. Category-wise cutoff trends published from JoSAA data also show many mid/lower-tier institutes extending much further than top campuses. Apart from your grandson's home state, have other States' NITs/IIITs/GFTIs also as backup options if son is interested in any particular branches. To get detailed information about opening and closing ranks for the last 2-3 years, please visit the official JoSAA website. There, you can input details such as Round Number, Institute Type, Institute Name, Academic Program, and Category to view the corresponding cutoff ranks.

By reviewing this data, you can identify near-realistic institution and branch options that match your rank. This will help you strategically fill the maximum number of choices during the JoSAA counselling window to improve your son's chances of admission. It is advisable to fill choices for both JoSAA and CSAB Special Rounds and keep state-level and private institute options ready as backups. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

My son got 53700 AIR and 16000 in obc category rank in jee mains 2026 we are from Gurgaon what is the best option for.my son
Ans: Poonam Madam, With a CRL of 53,700 and an OBC-NCL rank of 16,000, the most realistic JoSAA option appears to be NIT Kurukshetra under Haryana Home State quota, primarily for lower-demand or newer branches. In 2025, NIT Kurukshetra’s OBC-HS cutoffs closed around: 15,224 for Production & Industrial Engineering, 15,885 for dual-degree Civil Engineering & 17,735 for Sustainable Energy Technologies. Among these, Sustainable Energy Technologies seems the most achievable option, while Civil and Production & Industrial Engineering are borderline. Admission to core or top branches at NIT Kurukshetra and regular-round IIIT Sonipat is unlikely at this rank. However, IIIT Sonipat could become possible during CSAB Special Rounds, where 2025 CRL cutoffs ranged between 61,875 and 67,471. Have other States' NITs/IIITs/GFTIs also as backup options if son is interested in any particular branches. To get detailed information about opening and closing ranks for the last 2-3 years, please visit the official JoSAA website. There, you can input details such as Round Number, Institute Type, Institute Name, Academic Program, and Category to view the corresponding cutoff ranks.
