Hello Aspirant,

See If we go through the analysis of marks Vs Percentile Vs rank for JEE-Main 2021 then according to the marks mentioned by you in the question your percentile is

>>>>>>>>  expected to be in the range of 97.9 - 98.96 .

You can also use JEE-Main Rank Predictor to predict your rank and percentile :-

Note that the percentile which is predicted is only the expected percentile on the basis of previous year's data so your actual percentile might vary depending upon current factors.


On such percentile range you have good chances to qualify for JEE-Advance 2022 but still the cutoffs for this year have not released yet officially.

As the cut-offs are released along with the JEE-Main 2022 result so for now you can get an idea from JEE-Main 2021 qualifying cut-offs that are enlisted below :-

==>> Common Rank List (CRL) - 87.8992241-100.0000000 Percentile

==>> GEN-EWS - 66.2214845-87.8950071 Percentile

==>> Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) - 68.0234447-87.8950071 Percentile

==>> Scheduled Caste (SC) - 46.8825338-87.8950071 Percentile

==>> Scheduled Tribe (ST) - 34.6728999 87.8474721 Percentile

==>> PwD - 0.0096375-87.8273359 Percentile

Note that in above table it is not the actual cut-off for JEE-Main 2022 but previous year's cut-off.

You can check out previous year's cut-off trends from the link given below :-

Admission to IITs are taken only on the basis of JEE-Advance rank not on the basis of JEE-Main score so as per your marks you have good chances to qualify for JEE-Advance as discussed above then on the basis of your JEE-Advance rank we can predict your admission chances for IITs.

On such percentile your rank would be somewhere around 18000-28000 and on such rank you can have chances in following institutions ;-


  • Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology Bhopal - Mechanical Engineering
  • Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad - Civil Engineering
  • National Institute of Technology Agartala - Electronics and Communication Engineering
  • National Institute of Technology Calicut - Chemical Engineering


To have a list of all those colleges which you can get based upon your JEE-Main score or rank you can use JEE-Main College Predictor:-
