Hi,
With a 77 percentile in JEE Main under the SC category, getting a seat in a top NIT is unlikely, as most NITs require SC category percentiles around 85–90+ for popular branches like CS, Mechanical, or ECE.
However, you may get lower-preference branches or NITs in less competitive states through JoSAA counselling. Options include:
-
Less sought-after branches (Civil, Mining, etc.)
-
NITs in smaller states or newly established NITs
It is best to:
-
Check previous year cutoffs for SC candidates for each NIT.
-
Participate in JoSAA counselling to explore all possible options.
