Hello sir,my son has got 96.8 percentile in JEE mains session1 from OBC Category.Can he got admission in a better NIT college.pls advice

Ans: Admission to top National Institutes of Technology (NITs) for highly sought-after branches like Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) can be competitive. However, with his OBC-NCL rank, your son stands a good chance of securing admission to reputable NITs in branches such as:

Mechanical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Electronics and Communication Engineering
Additionally, he may have opportunities in newer NITs or those located in the northeastern regions for branches like CSE. Institutions such as NIT Sikkim, NIT Mizoram, and NIT Agartala often have slightly lower cutoffs, increasing the likelihood of admission in desired branches.
