what will be my rank if i got 88 percentile in jee main under obc ncl?

Ans: With an 88 percentile in JEE Main under the OBC-NCL category, your All India Rank (AIR) is likely to be between 135,695 and 183,105. This means you'll be in the 135,695th to 183,105th position overall. Your category rank (OBC-NCL) would be around 40,000, according to a reliable source.

Hello sir , I got 87.6 percentile in JEE mains .What NITs can I expect
Ans: Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main/Advanced Results – A Step-by-Step Guide

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 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.

Have some other options also as back-ups instead of relying only on JEE/JoSAA.

Comed k Sir if I accept and upgrade for round 4 so will my seat which I got 3 be reserved??
Ans: HI,
Did you read the guidelines or not? If not, please go through them. The counseling authorities are providing you with sufficient time to understand the process. This is important. It's not just about booking a movie ticket or a slot for FDFS and watching, regardless of whether it seems good or not.

There are FOUR options for candidates during the counseling process (refer to the COMEDK Counseling Process Quick Guide, Page 8):

1. Accept and Freeze: You are satisfied with the seat allotted and willing to report to the college allotted and do not wish to participate in any subsequent rounds. Download your Online Allotment letter and Fee Payment Receipt and report to college in person as per date mentioned in your allotment letter by fulfilling other requirements.

2. Accept and Upgrade: You are satisfied with the allotted seat but wish to participate in the next round. If higher options are allotted in subsequent Round, then earlier allotted seat gets cancelled automatically OR if higher option seats are not allotted, then earlier allotted seat shall remain in the candidate’s favor.

3. Reject and Upgrade: You are not satisfied with the allotted seat. You are rejecting the allotted seat but wish to participate in the next round to check for allotment of higher preferences/options.

4. Reject and Withdraw: You are not satisfied with the allotted seat and do not wish to participate in further rounds.

For example, if you received an ECE seat in Round 3 and you are not satisfied because your expectation is CSE, you should opt for Option 2 (Accept and Upgrade). If you achieve an upgrade to CSE in Round 4, your previous seat (ECE) will be automatically canceled. If you do not receive a higher preference, the Round 3 ECE seat will be retained.

I hope you understand the process clearly.

Important Note: There is no option to go back to your previous seat if you choose to upgrade and receive a new allotment.
BEST WISHES.

Sir,she is selected for BSC.Agriculture at Biswa harati university, which will be better BHU Or viswa Bharati.
Ans: Dilip Sir, Banaras Hindu University’s Faculty of Agricultural Sciences offers a comprehensive B.Sc. Agriculture curriculum with specialization options in agronomy, horticulture, and soil science, delivered by over 100 PhD-qualified faculty, supported by world-class research farms and cutting-edge laboratories. Accredited ‘A+’ by NAAC and ranked among India’s top five agricultural universities, BHU emphasizes extension services, collaborative projects with ICAR, and placement assistance through campus recruitment and research fellowships. Biswa Bharati University’s rural-focused Agriculture program integrates traditional agro-practices with community development, led by a smaller cadre of faculty and field-based training centers. While Visva Bharati fosters holistic learning through its emphasis on sustainable farming, organic methods, and cultural immersion, its infrastructure and industry linkages are more limited. BHU graduates benefit from stronger alumni networks, government research opportunities, and higher placement rates exceeding 70% in agribusiness, government services, and academia. Visva Bharati excels in promoting social entrepreneurship, village innovation clusters, and hands-on community engagement, ideal for students passionate about grassroots development and agro-heritage conservation.

Recommendation: For rigorous academic training, advanced research facilities, and robust career support, Banaras Hindu University is the superior choice; choose Visva Bharati only if you prioritize community-driven, sustainable agriculture and cultural immersion. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
