With a 64.4 percentile in JEE Main and belonging to the SC category, your expected rank could be around 2-3 lakh. You may have chances in some NITs under the SC category with the home state quota, GFTIs, and state engineering colleges. Private universities like SRM, VIT, and Manipal could also be options. Check JoSAA and state counseling cutoffs to explore the best colleges available based on your rank. Applying for state-level engineering admissions can further improve your chances of securing a good college.

For JEE Mains Session 2 preparation, begin by reviewing errors from the first attempt. Focus on weak areas by revisiting essential concepts, formulas, and problem-solving techniques. Practice previous years' questions and take mock tests to boost accuracy and speed. Strengthen fundamentals with NCERT and use supplementary books for in-depth understanding. Follow a structured study schedule, stay consistent, and regularly solve problems. Keep a positive mindset and work towards continuous improvement.

With 87.88 percentile in JEE Main, your expected rank would be around 1.5-1.7 lakh. You may get branches in lower NITs under home state quota, some IIITs, and GFTIs. State government colleges in Maharashtra, MP, UP, and Rajasthan could also be options. Private universities like Amity, SRM, UPES, and LPU may offer good programs. Check past year JoSAA cutoffs and state counseling for better clarity. Exploring state engineering colleges through their respective counseling processes can further improve your chances.

Hello Santosh,

No, category correction is not allowed in the JEE Main correction window. If you selected General in Session 1 , you cannot change it to OBC in Session 2.

What Can You Do?

1. If you have an OBC certificate but selected General by mistake, contact NTA Helpdesk immediately.
   
   
2. If correction is not allowed , you will have to continue under the General category for admissions.
   
   
3. During JoSAA counseling , category changes are also not permitted , so ensure all details are correct before applying.
   
   
   
   I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.
   
   Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello,

preparing for any competitive exam requires a clear mindset and strategy, you can follow as mentioned below :

1. Understand the Exam Pattern & Syllabus

• Subjects : Physics, Chemistry, Biology (Botany + Zoology)
• Exam Mode : Offline (Pen & Paper)
• Total Questions : 200 (180 to be attempted)
• Marking Scheme : +4 for correct, -1 for wrong answer
• Syllabus : Follow NCERT for Classes 11 & 12 as the primary source

2. Make a Study Plan

• Daily Routine : Dedicate at least 6–8 hours daily
• Divide Time :
  • Biology – 50% (as it carries the most weightage)
  • Chemistry – 25%
  • Physics – 25% (often the toughest for students)
• Revision Time : Keep 2–3 hours daily for revision
• Practice MCQs : At least 100–150 daily

3. Focus on NCERT First

• Read NCERT line by line , especially for Biology & Chemistry
• Make short notes for revision
• Highlight important concepts

4. Use Standard Reference Books

• Biology : NCERT + Trueman’s Biology / Dinesh Biology
• Chemistry : NCERT + OP Tandon (Physical), MS Chauhan (Organic)
• Physics : NCERT + HC Verma / DC Pandey (for better understanding)

5. Practice Previous Year Papers & Mock Tests

• Solve last 10 years' papers
• Attempt mock tests regularly (weekly in the beginning, daily in the last 3 months)
• Analyze mistakes & improve weak areas

6. Strengthen Conceptual Understanding

• Avoid rote learning, understand concepts deeply
• Use diagrams & mnemonics for memorization
• Watch YouTube lectures (e.g., Physics Wallah, Unacademy, Vedantu) if needed

7. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

• Take regular breaks to avoid burnout
• Eat a balanced diet & exercise to stay focused
• Ensure proper sleep (6–8 hours)

8. Join a Coaching or Online Course (if needed)

• Revise at least twice before the exam
• Use flashcards & summary notes
• Focus more on weak subjects/topics

hope this will help you,

All the very best !!

Hello,

Securing admission to a National Institute of Technology (NIT) with a JEE Main 2025 score of 67 as an SC category candidate may be challenging. Consider the following points:

• Qualifying Cutoff : The expected qualifying cutoff for SC candidates in JEE Main 2025 is around 65 marks.

• Admission Prospects : While a score of 67 may meet the qualifying cutoff, gaining admission to NITs, especially in preferred branches, is competitive. Higher scores improve chances for desirable courses and campuses.

• Alternative Options : If NIT admission is uncertain, explore other reputable engineering institutions or state colleges where the cutoff scores may be more attainable.

• Improvement Opportunity : Consider preparing for the next JEE Main attempt to achieve a higher score, thereby enhancing admission prospects in subsequent counseling rounds.

You can also use the JEE Mains College Predictor Tool to predict which college you can get based on your score.

Hope you find it useful !
