Hello,

Achieving a 98 percentile in JEE Main places you approximately within the top 20,000 ranks. Based on previous years' cutoffs for the general female category, admission possibilities are:

• Top NITs (e.g., NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal): CSE and ECE branches typically close within the top 5,000 ranks, making admission challenging.

• Mid-tier NITs (e.g., NIT Jamshedpur, NIT Kurukshetra): CSE and ECE branches have closing ranks around 10,000 to 15,000, offering a moderate chance.

• Lower-tier NITs and newer IIITs: CSE, ECE, and EEE branches often have closing ranks beyond 20,000, increasing your admission prospects.

Please note that cutoffs vary annually based on factors like seat availability and applicant performance.

Hope it helps !
