Hello there,

With a JEE Mains rank around 3 lakh , it may be difficult to secure a seat in top-tier institutions like NITs, IIITs , or GFTIs . However, you can explore the following options:

  1. State Engineering Colleges :

    • Many state government colleges and private universities accept JEE Mains scores and might have a higher cutoff, allowing you to secure admission.

    • Some state-level counseling might have better chances.

  2. Private Engineering Colleges :

    • Private colleges that accept JEE Mains scores, like VIT Vellore , BITS Pilani , SRM , Manipal , and others, may provide admission at this rank.

    • Some of these colleges might have additional management quota seats.

  3. Deemed Universities :

    • Deemed universities such as Shiv Nadar University , Amity University , and others may also consider your rank for admission.

      Suggested Course of Action:

  • Apply through state counseling and private college applications .

  • Consider management quota seats in some private colleges if you can afford them.

  • Keep track of colleges with lower cutoff trends and their admission processes .
