hello.i got 70 percentage on jee mains session 1 with caste sc.can i qualify and eligible to get a seat on nit
Hello,
Achieving a 70 percentile in JEE Main Session 1 as an SC category candidate may qualify you for NIT admission . Consider the following:
- Qualifying Cutoff: The expected cutoff for SC candidates is around 60.09 percentile.
- Admission Cutoffs : Admission to specific NITs and branches depends on opening and closing ranks, which vary annually. For instance, in previous years, SC category closing ranks for certain branches in NITs have been within your percentile range.
- Counseling Rounds: Participate in JoSAA counseling, as seats may become available in subsequent rounds.
- Branch Flexibility: Being open to various engineering branches can increase your chances of securing a seat.
You can use the JEE Mains college predictor tool to predict which college you can get based on your score.
Wishing you the best !
