"My son scored 77.7633456 marks in the first session of JEE Main 2025. What will be his percentile and rank?"

Ans: With a score of 77.76 marks in JEE Main 2025 Session 1, your son’s expected percentile is approximately 87–89, as candidates scoring around 70 marks typically fall within this range. This percentile corresponds to an estimated All India rank between 115,000 and 165,000, depending on the total number of test-takers and session difficulty. While this score meets the eligibility for several state-level and private engineering colleges, it is below the cutoff for top NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs for high-demand branches like CSE. It is advisable to consider reputable private universities or state colleges where the cutoff aligns with this percentile, and to participate in counselling rounds for all eligible options to maximize admission chances. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Question by Sneha - Apr 28, 2026Hindi

Career

Have 71 percentile in jee mains, obc category and from rajasthan is there any good option for me

Ans: Sneha, At 71 percentile, even with OBC-NCL, chances for a good NIT/IIIT/GFTI are very low unless your OBC category rank is unusually better. JoSAA clearly says OBC-NCL cut-offs are based on OBC category rank, not percentile alone.

You may still fill JoSAA + CSAB Special Rounds, because CSAB fills vacant NIT/IIIT/GFTI seats after JoSAA, but expect only very low-demand branches or GFTIs, not CSE/ECE. Better to focus on REAP Rajasthan counselling, where many Rajasthan engineering colleges take admission through JEE Main rank. Target SKIT Jaipur, JECRC, Poornima, Arya, Anand ICE, GIT Jaipur, JIET Jodhpur, BKBIET Pilani, or private universities like Manipal Jaipur, NIIT University, LPU, Chandigarh University, UPES, SRM, VIT etc. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Heyy i got 79.6 percentile in jee mains which college i got i live in haryana and completed my 12th form cbse board in haryana

Ans: At the 79.6 percentile, your likely CRL may be roughly 2.8–3.2 lakh, so NIT/IIIT through JoSAA is very difficult, especially for CSE/ECE. You can still register for JoSAA/CSAB, because CSAB fills vacant NIT/IIIT/GFTI seats after JoSAA, but expect only very low-demand branches/GFTIs if any seat remains. Since you studied in Haryana, focus more on HSTES Haryana counselling, where B.Tech admission is based on JEE Main All India Rank. Good practical options: DCRUST Murthal, YMCA Faridabad, UIET Kurukshetra, GJUST Hisar, PIET Panipat, Manav Rachna, Chandigarh University, LPU, NIIT University, UPES etc. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

My son got CRL 158576 category rank(sc) 7663 in jee main what are the college options are best for him,homestate Haryana

Ans: Based on your son’s score, he has some chance, but mainly for lower-demand branches, not CSE or ECE in the better NITs. For Haryana home-state quota, the first preference should be NIT Kurukshetra under the HS-SC category, but realistically the likely options may be Civil, Production, Mechanical-related, or other lower branches if the cutoff moves enough; CSE, IT, and ECE are unlikely.

In some previous years, NIT Kurukshetra HS-SC lower branches have closed around 6,000 to 9,000 SC rank, so your son’s 7,663 SC rank is borderline. He should also keep options such as NIT Agartala, Sikkim, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, and GFTIs in the list, and participate in CSAB Special Rounds as well.

It is also advisable to keep these as backup options: YMCA Faridabad, DCRUST Murthal, and UIET Kurukshetra. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Sir, my son got 2300 category rank (OBC NCL) and home state is UP. He is interested in CS and IT related branches only. Pls suggest best options and may pls also suggest that which option will be better in IIIT Alahabad- IT and MNNIT-Allahabad-CSE

Ans: Ashok Sir, Prefer IIIT Allahabad IT slightly over MNNIT Allahabad CSE if he wants pure coding/IT culture and top tech placements; IIIT-A’s official placement page shows strong IT-focused outcomes. MNNIT CSE is also excellent, with an average salary package of ?28 LPA for CSE reported recently. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Career

My son got 91% in 12th and 98.49% in JEE Mains with CRL 23918, he is intt in CSE, pls help to find NIT and IIT.

Ans: ou have not mentioned your son's home state. For CSE in top NITs, chances are low. He may have better chances for CSE/IT/ECE in newer IIITs such as IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Una, IIIT Senapati/Manipur, IIIT Kurnool, depending on category and round movement. In NITs, he should also fill ECE/EE/Mathematics & Computing/AI-related lower options if available, not only CSE. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your son confidently select and fill his preferred & maximum number of choices. It is also advisable to participate in CSAB round because vacant seats can move & also to have 3-4 backup options of reputed Private Engineering Colleges in and around your home state. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Career

As i scored 85.5 percentile in jee mains 2026 and 78k rank obc ncl and i am from up which college should i prefer for cse and i am thinking mmmut gorakhpur as a option tell me more for cse

Ans: Aryan, With 85.5 percentile and OBC-NCL rank 78,000, CSE through NIT/IIIT is not realistic, so focusing on MMMUT Gorakhpur and UP/private options is sensible. For MMMUT, check counselling carefully. Recent data shows even ECE/IoT closing around the 70k–80k range in early rounds, so CSE at your rank may be difficult, but lower branches or later rounds may be possible; still, you can try for CSE. MMMUT CSE is respected in eastern UP, with decent coding culture and a government-fee advantage with good placement records. It is advisable to have the following as backups KIET, AKGEC, JSS Noida, GL Bajaj, Galgotias, NIET, ABES, IILM, Bennett, Sharda for CSE. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Question by Moni - Apr 28, 2026Hindi

Career

My AI rank 233100, SC rank 13050, can I get NIT /IIIT, my home state WEST BENGAL

Ans: Moni, Based on your score, for NIT Durgapur, earlier SC home-state lower branches generally closed around a 5,000–8,000 SC rank, so your SC 13,050 is not safe for regular JoSAA rounds. Still, you can fill your preferred choices along with NIT Durgapur lower branches, NIT Agartala, Mizoram, Nagaland, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and GFTIs. IIIT CSE/IT is unlikely, but try lower/newer IIITs in CSAB Special Rounds, where vacancies can move. It is advisable to have the backup options of WBJEE counselling, Heritage Institute, IEM, Techno Main Salt Lake, Haldia Institute and/or any other reputed Private Engineering Colleges. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
