What is the minimum safe marks to get a good IIT and MnC branch in JEE ADVANCED 2025 ?

Ans: Between 170 to 180.

Ans: Hello Dear.
A 90+ percentile is usually a more secure score to aim for if you're looking to get into competitive branches in VSSUT. In the 1st session, your score is too low. Try hard in the 2nd attempt of JEE. Along with JEE, please appear for the state level engineering entrance test for a safer side. Those who remain dependent on JEE only have to face more problems if they score less in JEE. Thanks

Ans: Hello Spandana
Aim for at least 140+ marks to get admission to CSE to be safe. But remember, the cut-off varies year by year. Hence, it would be better to go through the cut-offs from previous years for more clarity.

Ans: Sayali, For JEE Main 2026, securing admission to a decent NIT for the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) branch as an OBC category candidate typically requires both a high percentile and a competitive All India Rank. Recent cut-off data across reliable educational portals indicates that the cut-off percentile for qualifying JEE Main as an OBC candidate is usually in the 79–80 range, but actual admissions to CSE at NITs—especially well-regarded ones—demand a much higher percentile, often above 93, and a corresponding rank within roughly the top 2,500–8,000 for OBC category students. For example, 2024 JoSAA Round 4 closing ranks for CSE in NIT Trichy and NIT Warangal were around 369 and 629, respectively, while more accessible NITs such as NIT Jalandhar, Raipur, and Hamirpur reported closing OBC ranks between 3,000 and 10,000. For moderately ranked NITs—considered “decent”—the OBC closing ranks for CSE generally fall in the range of 4,000 to 9,000. In percentile terms, a safe range to target is at least 96–97 percentile, equivalent to a normalized mark typically above 165–175 out of 300 in JEE Main, subject to exam difficulty and normalization each year. Minimum marks required fluctuate annually, but scoring above 150–160 marks is advisable to ensure a competitive OBC rank for CSE in most NITs; higher marks increase the range of NITs available. Additionally, factors such as home state quota, seat allocation trends, and seat matrix changes may influence branch allotment but do not substantially change the need for a strong JEE Main score.

In summary, OBC candidates aiming for CSE in a decent NIT through JEE Main 2026 should target a percentile of at least 96, strive for a rank below 7,000, and secure marks above 150 for maximum options and admission flexibility. All the BEST for Your JEE Preparation!
