Hi Sir, Hope you are doing good. My daughter has completed her jee mains 2nd session, has done well. She is confident in getting 140 marks Sir, what would be her approx percentile and what colleges and courses can she can get. I know it’s early to ask, but I’m curious to know the current situation so that to plan private exams accordingly, please help Sir

Ans: Scoring 140 marks in the JEE Main April session generally corresponds to a percentile range of approximately 95.5 to 97.6. Based on this performance, it's likely that her COMEDK rank could fall below AIR 1000. This significantly boosts her chances of securing admission into one of the top three engineering colleges in Bengaluru.

Hii..My daughter got 93 percentile General Category in JEE January attempt. Please guide regarding her chances of getting good college. Also please suggest what other entrance exam she should fill apart from JEE April attempt.
Ans: Monika Madam, you have not mentioned your Home State. Anyway, coming to your question. Providing information about chances of getting particular NITs/Branches based on your daughter's percentile & based on her category such as General, SC, ST, OBC etc. can be challenging. Instead, please follow these steps: 1. Calculate your daughter's approximate All India Rank (AIR) based on her percentile using a Google search. 2. As mentioned in several my previous responses, check the JoSAA opening and closing ranks for 2024 to get a general idea of the institutes and branches your daughter might be eligible for, based on her category (Open/SC/ST/EWS etc). Make sure you fill in your preferences accordingly during the actual JoSAA counselling process after JEE Advanced. 3. To better understand the JoSAA counselling process, I recommend watching an EduJob360 video if time permits. 4. Additionally, it’s advisable to appear for 3-4 more entrance exams (if you can can afford it) as backups, such as your State's Engineering Entrance Exam (like COMEDK) or by participating in counselling process of your State with JEE Main Score (whichever is/Relying only on JEE may limit your options, so it's good to have a broader range of choices to ensure you select the most suitable path for you. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future.
