Hello!
The cutoff of last year for inclusion in various rank lists were as follows-
Common Rank List-89.7548849
Gen EWS-78.2174869
OBC NCL-74.3166557
SC-54.0128155
ST-44.3345172
PWD-0.11371730
Now since you have a percentile of 42 and you belong to ST category your chances to qualify jee mains are very slim but not impossible. You may qualify jee mains but might not get good colleges based on your result. So you should try and improve your result in jee mains
April attempt.
Thanks and regards
Ayush

Hello

According to your percentile, chances are less to get seat in colleges through JoSAA Counselling. You should prepare well and appear for the JEE Main April exam, aim to score better in that attempt to get seat in any good college and your preferred engineering branch.

Good Luck!
