Respected sir,

asically good IIT definition depends on you.

 

Well from my side, older IITs namely IIT Kharagpur (That's Mine :P), IIT Kanpur, IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Roorkee, IIT Madras and IIT Guwahati are generally considered as good IITs.

 

For getting into any of these 7 IITS, with a decent branch such as "CS, EE, ECE(Only in IIT KGP), Mech, and others too." you need a minimum marks 200 out of 360.

 

This will give you a general rank under 2500 which can help you get in those 7 IITs.

 

Don't be so sure about the marks because last year even with 250 marks out of 504, my friends are in Mech, IIT Kharagpur.

Hello Ishan
It depends on the criteria of best engineering college in JEE Mains. Considering rank wise the top colleges in JEE Mains are to be the top NITs, PEC, IIITs. You must score about 230+ to get your prefered branches in these top colleges. (The cut-off is obviously subject to change according to the question paper which comes)
Hope this helps.
All the best !

Hello Ishan,
If you want top engineering college then your score in JEE mains must be above 300. If you score above 300 , then your rank will lie below 250.
If you score 250+ then your rank will be below 1000.
For top college like IITs, you have to pass IIT Advance level .
If you failed to perform well in JEE Mains, then you can get Top NITs on basis of your JEE Mains Rank/Marks. So , If you want safe rank for top Colleges, then score above 250 marks.
All the Best.
