Hello student,

With a 94.8 percentile in JEE Main and being from the General category, it is challenging to secure a seat in the Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) branch at NIT Trichy. NIT Trichy is one of the top NITs in India, and the competition for popular branches like ECE is very high. Generally, the cutoff for ECE at NIT Trichy for General category students is much higher.

Expected Rank and Cutoff:

• Expected Rank: With a 94.8 percentile, your expected rank would be around 50,000 - 60,000.
  
  
• NIT Trichy ECE Cutoff: The General category cutoff for ECE at NIT Trichy typically falls within the range of the top 2,500 - 4,000 ranks.
  
  Alternatives:
  
  
• Lower-Tier NITs: You might have a better chance of getting ECE in lower-tier NITs or in newer NITs.
  
  
• Other Branches: If you're set on NIT Trichy, you could consider less competitive branches where the cutoff might align better with your rank.
  
  
• IIITs/GFTIs: Look into IIITs and Government-Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs), where your rank might secure you a seat in ECE.
