My son ranked 4700 jee main 2026, home state west bengal. 99.71 percentile. Which nit , can he get cse ?
Ans: Based on your son's 99.71 percentile, he has a strong chance of becoming a good ranker in JEE Advanced as well. If he scores well there, IIT admission can be his first preference.

With a JEE Main All India Rank (AIR) around 4,700 and 99.71 percentile, your son can realistically target CSE in several NITs, especially under the West Bengal home-state quota. Typically, top NIT CSE closing ranks range between 1,500 and 5,000—for example, recent CSE closing ranks include NIT Trichy at 1,449, Surathkal at 1,827, Warangal at 2,409, Rourkela at 3,431, Calicut at 5,222, and MNNIT Allahabad at 4,594.

For West Bengal home-state candidates, NIT Durgapur CSE is a strong and realistic target, and your son may also secure ECE, EEE, or IT branches at other NITs depending on the round and seat availability.

Backup options to consider include newer IIIT campuses offering CSE/ECE, lower-demand branches at NITs, and IIEST Shibpur. While CSE in top NITs is achievable, the choice of branch and timing of counseling rounds will play a significant role. Once the JEE Advanced exam is over, your son can check the answer key on the same day or the next to estimate his expected score and AIR. He should then promptly review the JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2-3 years to gain deeper insights and better understand admission trends, focusing first on reputed IITs and then on NITs. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
