Hi!

85 percentile implies that you have scored better than 85% of the students who have appeared in the exam. Rest 15% students have scored more marks than yours.

So accordingly, you rank comes out to be near to 160k. At this rank you should be looking to apply in as many universities as possible.

• Try for UPSEE. You may get colleges of Lucknow or Kanpur if you perform well (I will put a link below for your reference).
• Apply for BITSAT.
• You can apply in GGSIPU and get top ranked colleges in that university.
• You should patiently wait for all the universities to conduct all it's special rounds and make sure you take part in all the counselling processes.
