Career

Sir I got 65 percentile in jee and 75 percent in 12 class CBSC board.my category is obc ncl.can i get any nit.or what should choice with rank according.iam belong from Maharashtra.

Ans: HI ARSHPREET,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS1
It is very difficult to secure a seat in an NIT through JoSAA. Utilize your Maharashtra domicile by participating in MHT CET counseling. Your options for top-tier state engineering colleges are significantly stronger through the state quota. Admission may be possible at newer NITs or GFTIs during the CSAB round. Otherwise, consider participating in centralized counseling for deemed universities and top private engineering colleges in Maharashtra that accept JEE Main scores.
All the best!
