Hello student,

Since it is difficult to get admission through JoSAA Counselling at 21 percentile, you should definitely sit for the second attempt.

Don't doubt yourself or your capabilities, you can definitely do it and crack the exam with the right preparation strategy and mindset. Plus, you have ample amount of time to prepare and improve your score. My suggestion is that use this time well and effectively prepare for the April session. The second session is a chance for you to improve your score and get top colleges and branches.

If you want to check your rank range based on your percentile, then you can refer to the Careers360 JEE Main Rank Predictor: https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-rank-predictor?

If you need more information regarding which colleges you would be eligible for based on your marks and details, then you can refer to the Careers360 JEE Main College Predictor: https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-college-predictor?

All the best!
