It depends upon the JEE Main and JEE Advance cut offs, If You manage to qualify the exam by achieving the cut off, You can apply for JOSAA Counselling. It should be noted the cut off for EWS/SC/ST/FEMALES/OBC category is lower than the general category

If you manage to qualify JEE Main Cutoff, You would be eligible for JEE Advance which is the intake exam for IITs as mentioned above.


However It is usually advised to fill the choices as per the preference of colleges and departments, for example CSE in NIT Trichy is your priority followed by CSE in NIT Warangal, you can fill CSE at NIT Trichy at serial number 1 and CSE at NIT Warangal at serial number 2 and so on and so forth. However to get any NIT, you must have qualified JEE Mains and to get any IIT, you must have qualifies JEE Advanced

But the previous cut offs of colleges should be taken in consideration, it is better to research over the cut off of colleges then make a preference list of colleges and fill accordingly

Hello student,

As a general category, this rank is not enough to get a seat in top 10 engineering colleges in telangana like cbit, mgit or vasavi. All these colleges are state level colleges and accept admissions through ts eamcet and jee mains. Accepting admissions through jee mains is called b-category and b-category seats are unpredictable and it depends on that respective college management. As the number of seats per branch will be less in b-category and if a student who has a better rank than you approaches these colleges then first preference will be given to him.So i suggest you to get into these colleges through ts eamcet exam and ts eamcet counselling as this process will be better and easier than b-category.But if you still want seat through jee mains then the maximum rank which these colleges will accept in jee mains will be less than 40,000 for good core branches.Hope my answer solved your query
