Ans: As already answered earlier to some same type of questions, To know which National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and branches you might be eligible for, consider the following steps: Identify your preferred branches: Check JoSAA Opening and Closing Ranks of 2024: The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) provides detailed information on the opening and closing ranks for NITS and branches. To access this information: Visit the official JoSAA website. Navigate to the section and select "Opening and Closing Ranks 2024". Input the desired parameters such as counseling round (preferably the last round for comprehensive data), institute type (e.g., NIT), specific institute names (preferably ALL option), academic programs (branches), and your category.

Ans: Shreesh,

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.

All the Best for Your Prosperous Future.
