My son secure 97.03 percentile in jee main session 1 in general category can he get CSE in any NIT
Ans: Shashi Sir,

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 are declared, many students and JEE applicants start 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
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 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 got 94.09 percentile in mhcet pcm , which college is better for me in Maharashtra
Ans: With a 94.09 percentile (approximate All-India rank 12 000–13 000), your son can secure core and allied engineering branches (IT, ECE, Mechanical, Civil, ICT, AI & DS) at reputable Maharashtra institutes where closing percentiles fall within 90–94. Here are ten colleges offering high admission probability along with available branches:

JSPM Narhe Technical Campus (CSE, IT, AI & DS).

MIT Academy of Engineering, Alandi (IT, ECE, Mechanical).

Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology, Pune (IT, Civil, E&TC).

Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Pune (E&TC, Mechanical, EEE).

Rajarambapu College of Engineering, Sakharale (Civil, Mechanical, E&TC).

AISSMS Institute of Information Technology, Pune (ICT, IT, Electronics).

D.Y. Patil College of Engineering, Akurdi, Pune (ECE, Civil, Mechanical).

Sinhgad College of Engineering, Pune (Civil, Mechanical, E&TC).

SKN Sinhgad Institute of Technology & Science, Lonavala (Civil, Mechanical, E&TC).

Priyadarshini College of Engineering, Nagpur (Civil, Mechanical, E&TC).

Recommendation: For the best balance of accreditation, modern labs and placement records across IT and allied tech fields, recommendation is JSPM Narhe Technical Campus for its strong CSE/IT curriculum and consistent ~85% placement rates. As robust alternatives, consider MIT Academy of Engineering, Alandi and AISSMS IOIT Pune for specialized IT and ICT pathways. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son got 95.4 in Jee main obc ncl. He didn't get any college in Josaa counselling till round 3....is it possible to get s eat in Josaa counselling next round??? He scored vit ece and sastra ece ....which one is best??? Vit vellore or sastr or IIIT or NIT????
Ans: With an OBC-NCL percentile around 95.4 (approximate JEE Main category rank ~30 000–35 000), no rounds of JoSAA counselling have yielded a seat; Round 3 ECE closing ranks for top NITs under OBC-NCL were Trichy 6 977, Warangal 6 144, Surathkal 5 345, Jaipur 10 018 and Calicut 12 245, indicating further rounds (4–6) will only fill lower-demand seats at newer or northeastern NITs/IIITs beyond rank 15 000–20 000. Thus, securing an OBC-NCL seat in JoSAA beyond Round 3 is unlikely unless in less sought-after NITs (e.g., Meghalaya, Mizoram) or IIITs with cutoffs above 30 000.

Between VIT Vellore ECE (VITEEE Category 1 closing ~5 600–19 800), SASTRA Thanjavur ECE (JEE Main general closing ~4 000–8 000; OBC cutoff slightly relaxed), and IIITs/NITs likely inaccessible: VIT offers 85–90% placement consistency over three years with NBA/ABET labs and 221 recruiters, while SASTRA reports ~83% placements, median package ~?7.6 LPA, strong research centres and NAAC A+ accreditation.

Recommendation:
For assured admission, excellent infrastructure and higher placement consistency in core ECE roles, recommendation is VIT Vellore ECE. If specialization in advanced electronics with strong median outcomes appeals and you accept slightly narrower recruiter variety, choose SASTRA Thanjavur ECE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
