Yes, it depends on the state and counseling rules, your good JEE mains score can help you to secure TFWS seat even if your CET score is low.

There's eligibility need some essentials such as : your family income must be within the given limit that is typically less than 8 lakhs annually.

You should contact definitely contact the administration office of the college to confirm whether they accept JEE mains for TFWS or not, as some colleges have different rules and regulations.

Most important is to list preference for TFWS and general seat both during your counselling session because it maximize your chances.

Yes, you can still get a TFWS (Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme) seat through your JEE Main percentile, even if your CET score is low. In Maharashtra and some other states, JEE scores are also considered for admission under TFWS quota.

The main eligibility is that your family’s annual income should be less than 8 lakh, and you must be a domicile of the state where you’re applying. TFWS seats are usually 5% extra in each course and are allotted based on merit, so your JEE percentile should be high enough to get a seat in the branch/college you want.


When you fill the CAP form, make sure you select the TFWS option and upload the required income certificate (valid for the current year) along with domicile proof. If your documents are correct and your rank is within the cutoff for TFWS seats, you should be able to get it.
