My son secured 92.20 percentile in JEE mains 2025 ( Gen category), Uttar pradesh domicile. Can he get into any NIT ( CSE, Electronics or any other branch) or any IIIT. Please mention the college too.
Ans: Here is, 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 was declared, many students and JEE applicants started 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 Option also 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.

Hello Sir, Good Afternoon, My son scored KCET 100520 ranks SC category, and scored AIR 344195 for JEE Main having 76.80 percentile and he want to take admission in CSE, ECE, EE or Mechanical, but he want to take admission in good TIER1 or TIER2 colleges in Karnataka under top 100-150 NFIR, which college is best for him for placement and packages in future...please suggest, as per his rankings MSRIT Industrial Engineering & Management available & in some of TIER3 college CSE, Electronics also there, which is best one for his future, please suggest. considering NIT, IIIT's & Top GFTI and state good colleges
Ans: With SC?category KCET rank beyond typical CSE/ECE/EE/ME cutoffs at top state institutes and a JEE Main AIR of 344,195, NIT and IIIT seats are out of reach under general or reserved quotas. Among Tier-2 Karnataka colleges ranked 100–150 by NIRF, MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology (NIRF 75) offers Industrial Engineering & Management with a 95% placement rate and 239 recruiters visiting annually. RV College of Engineering (NIRF 99) admits SC candidates in ECE/Mechanical up to ~9,135 and ~15,919 KCET ranks, posting 88%–92% placements over three years. PES University (NIRF 100) closes CSE around KCET 1,247 and ECE near 6,000 with 93% average placements and strong industry collaborations. Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering accepts SC KCET ranks up to ~12,000 for ECE/ME, sustaining 90%–95% placement consistency. For broader core-engineering roles, RVCE ECE/Mechanical and MSRIT IEM ensure robust placements, while PES CSE offers better software recruitment.

Recommendation: Opt for RVCE ECE or Mechanical for balanced core and IT placements, with MSRIT IEM as a strong alternative for multidisciplinary industry ties and top?tier recruiter access. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
