With 76 percentile in JEE Main, getting into top NITs or IIITs for popular branches like CSE is difficult. But you can still get admission in some good private colleges and state-level engineering colleges. You can also explore branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical in government colleges with this score. It’s important to apply in counseling and look for home state quota or management quota seats. Keep working hard and consider options based on your interests and budget.

Hello

1. NITs/IITs Not Possible: With 76 percentile, your rank is likely above 2.5 lakh, which is not enough for NITs, IIITs, or IITs (via JEE Advanced).

2. State Government Colleges: Some state engineering colleges (like in MP, UP, Rajasthan, etc.) accept lower percentiles if you’re from that state.

3. Home State Quota Helps: You may get a seat under home state quota in less competitive branches (e.g., Civil, Mechanical) in some government colleges.

4. Private Colleges: You are eligible for many private engineering colleges like:

SRM University

Amity University

Lovely Professional University (LPU)

Sharda University

5. CUET or Other Exams: Consider alternate exams like CUET, MHT-CET, WBJEE, or COMEDK for better options.

6. Counseling Strategy: Participate in JOSAA/CSAB for national colleges, and state counseling for better chance in state-run institutes.

7. Diploma to Degree Later: If not satisfied, you could take a diploma now and enter B.Tech via lateral entry next year.

8. Drop Year Option: If you strongly want an NIT/IIT, consider taking a drop year and preparing better for a second attempt.

Hello Shrutika,

With a 76 percentile in JEE Main, your chances of admission to top-tier NITs or IIITs may be limited, as their cutoffs are generally higher.

However, you can still get admission in:

• Some state engineering colleges where the cutoff percentile is lower.

• Many private engineering colleges across India that accept JEE Main scores.

• Newer or less competitive NITs or government colleges might consider lower ranks depending on the branch.

To improve your chances:

• Participate in the JoSAA and CSAB counseling fully.

• Consider private universities and deemed universities that accept JEE Main scores.

• Look for colleges offering your preferred branch with the available rank.

Your choice of branch and state quota may also affect admission chances.

I would recommend you to use the JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.
