Will I Get into NITs with a 97.5 Percentile in JEE Main 2025 (OBC Category)?

Ans: Balu Sir, At AEEE rank 2200 + JEE Main 98.08 percentile + Coimbatore home-state, chances are very good for Coimbatore CSE-related branches, but Slab 1 is not guaranteed because Amrita says allotment depends on rank, preferences, applications and CSAP, with no fixed cutoff.

Based on recent trends: Coimbatore CSE Core – possible but Slab 1 borderline. CSE-AI – good possibility. CSE-Cyber Security—good/strong possibility. Earlier Coimbatore CSE closing was around 1813 open / 13801 state, supporting your home-state advantage. Have backup options of Bengaluru/Amritapuri CSE, Coimbatore ECE, CCE/AI-related branches. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Alamuri, at AEEE rank 20,000, CSE in the best Amrita branch, Coimbatore, is unlikely; past CSE closing ranks were much lower. Try CSE specialisations/ECE/EEE/Mechanical in Amritapuri, Bengaluru, Amaravati, Chennai, Nagercoil, or Faridabad, depending on slab, home-state quota, vacancies and later CSAP rounds. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!
