Hello Aspirant,

According to the percentile given by you your expected rank would be near about 1.47 Lakhs. On the basis of this rank you cannot get any NIT or IIIT with general category. Last year cut-off for JEE-Main was 89.7 percentile.

It is little bit difficult for you to qualify for JEE-Advance 2020 but cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon various factors.

I would suggest you to prepare your self for second attempt of JEE-Main and try to secure more than 98 percentile fir good NITs.

You can use JEE-Main College Predictor to predict the college according to your percentile and category. Link for the same is given below :-

Good Luck!!

Hello student cut off vary every year on various factors like the level of question in the entrance examination and total number of applicants in that examination. It's expected that candidates from Genral category need to obtain at least 89 percentile to clear the cut off Jee main..


You can easily calculate and get your rank by using this formula

100 - (your total percentile) 869010 /100

In your case your rank must be around - 147,731

With this rank its difficult to get admission in any NIT's as we all know that seats are very limited and limited and admission is directly based on merit rank.


Feel free to comment if you have any doubt

Good luck
