My son got 88.53 percentile in JEE mains 2025 Jan session EWS category, can he get admission in NIT for Chemical or Electrical?

Ans: How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main Results – A Step-by-Step Guide

After the result of January JEE-Session is declared, RediffGURU has been getting standard questions from Students & JEE Applicants regarding the eligibility for particular Institute (NIT or IIIT or GFTI etc.) based on their Percentile scored, their Category, their preferred Branch & their Home State.

Providing information for each JEE Applicant based on these factors can be challenging. Some of the reputed Education based websites provide 'College Predictor' facility. Though you can check the same with your percentile based on your category etc., I would suggest all of you the following steps to know the chances of getting the Institute / Branch, based on last year's data. Please note, you will get a fair idea based on the last year's data (not an accurate idea). Now, here are the simple and most effective steps:

STEP 1: Note down your percentile, category, institute types preferred (NIT, IIIT or GFTI), preferred locations or you are ready for any location in India, Academic programs you prefer (list out minimum 3 programs you prefer as back-ups, instead of relying only one program) & the most important factor is your Category (General-Open or SC or SC (PwD) or OBC-NCL (PwD) or EWS (PwD) or Open (PwD) or ST or EWS or OBC-NCL?)

STEP 2: Convert your Percentile into Rank, the formula for which is available in Google.

STEP 3: Just type in Google, 'JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024'. Click the 1st Result. You will land directly into the JoSAA's Website that too into the window where you can put the inputs based on what you have noted down in STEP 1 Above.

STEP 4: 1st it asks for Round Number as around 5 rounds are held in JoSAA's Counselling Process. I suggest you, choose the 4th Round option on safer side.

STEP 5: Choose the Institute Type (NIT or IIIT or GFTI). If you are ready for all, better to go one-by-one.

STEP 6: As far as the Institute Name also (based on location), I suggest you to go one-by-one (institute) based on your preference (Avoid Choosing ALL to avoid confusion).

Choosing one-by-one will take time, but recommended.

STEP 7: Fill in the Academic Program (based on in your order of preference one by one).

STEP 8: After choosing the right options, applicable to you, click SUBMIT button.

You will get a detailed list of opening and closing ranks, based on your options chosen

STEP 9: Now start noting down the Opening & Closing of Each Institute & Each Branch you preferred in your Dairy or note-book for quick reference when you participate in JoSAA Counselling.

STEP 10: MOST IMPORTANT: Write 2 different columns for Opening & Closing Ranks in your dairy for each Institute. On SAFER SIDE, consider the Opening & Closing Ranks litter lesser than that of 2024 as the same fluctuates every year but not significantly.

Let me explain with an example. You have filled in as follows. Round 4 | NIT | NIT-Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category, the output of which shows Opening & Closing Ranks as '8622 & 26186' for HOME STATE Open Category. You should consider as / change to '8300 & 23000' (on a safer side). Let us take into consideration the Female Category for the same. Opening & Closing Rank shows '34334 & 36212'. You change it to '31000 & 33000' (on a safer side). Based on this example, you can change accordingly for OTHER STATES & your Category.

As already mentioned, Opening & Closing Ranks vary every year but not significantly, as such, suggested to change the same to lesser number and note down in your diary or in a separate note-book for quick reference while participating in JoSAA's Counselling Process.

You can follow the same steps for your JEE-April session & JEE-Advanced too.

Hope, you have thoroughly understood the above explained in a very simple and very easy-to-understand language.

If time permits to know about the JoSAA's Counselling Process, please watch one of the 180 Videos of EduJob360 on 'JoSAA Counselling Process', Engineering Entrance Exams & Preparation Strategies for the same.

All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future.

We are couple with 1 child. However, struggling with schools for my 11 year old who has autism, can talk and severe adhd. Schools are saying that they cannot enrol him yet due to behaviour and the fact that he wont listen to anyone and behave badly. He is smart in academics but likes to do things as he wishes creating issues. he struggles with peer communication and sitting in one place and will slouch and fall from the chair. Are there any options that we can look at. As his IQ is normal we feel he will struggle in a special school as well.
Ans: I understand how difficult and frustrating this situation must be for you as parents. Your child is bright and capable, but his challenges with behavior, attention, and sitting still are making school enrollment tough. Finding the right environment that supports both his academic strengths and his needs is essential. Inclusive schools with special education support or Montessori-style learning environments may offer a more flexible and understanding approach. Occupational therapy can help increase his sitting tolerance, posture, and focus, while behavioral therapy can support emotional regulation and social interactions. You might also consider discussing the option of a shadow teacher with school staff, as one-on-one assistance in a classroom can make a big difference. In case you don't get access to an occupational therapist, approach a physiotherapist with an understanding of Sensory Integration, as they can also help with improving his body awareness and tolerance for sitting. You are not alone in this journey, and with the right support, your child can thrive. I encourage you to connect with a special educator or developmental therapist to explore the best options for him. I request you to be strong and determined. for your son.
