Dear aspirant,

As you have mentioned that you have got 77 percentile and you want to know whether or not you are eligible to take admission in any of the nits or not.

So let me tell you that your percentile is a bit low as compared to the cut offs at nits. To get into a decent nit you need to score atleast 96 percentile to get a better branch too.

So, I would like you to mention your home state so that I can also guide you in a detailed manner for your home state nit.

Hello Aspirant,

Unfortunately not because according to the mentioned percentile your rank is expected to be in the range of 235290 - 264500 and with such rank and category it is very difficult to get any of the NITs/IIIT until you deserves Home state quota for any of the north-eastern states like Assam, Sikkim, Nagaland and likewise, because they generally have closing cut-off around 2-3 Lakhs for Home state candidates.

You can check out marks Vs ranks Vs Percentile from the link given below :-

Or

You can also use JEE-Main Rank Predictor to predict your rank :-

You can check out previous year's cut-offs from the official website of JOSAA as given below :-

But yes you can go for private colleges or you can prepare for further attempts of JEE-Main and to help you in your preparation we have some resources which you can access from the link given below :-

Note that the above prediction is made on the basis of latest cut-offs available on official website of JOSAA or CSAB and the cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon various factors such as the number of candidates appearing in an examination, the number of candidates qualifying an examination, difficulty level of the paper, and so on.

To have a list of all those colleges which you can get based upon your marks, category, and state you can use JEE-Main College Predictor:-
