Hello there,

Yes, if you got 61 percentile in JEE Mains, you may be eligible to apply under B-Category counselling in some private engineering colleges or deemed universities.

Key points to note:

1. B-Category seats are usually filled through JEE Mains score but do not have a high cutoff like NITs or IITs.

2. Colleges offering B-Category admissions mostly focus on:

   • Availability of seats

   • JEE percentile (minimum required varies by college)

   • State rules and college reputation

At 61 percentile, you might not get top branches like CSE or ECE in top private colleges, but you can get options in other branches or in mid-level institutions.

You should directly check with the colleges you're interested in, as B-Category admission rules and cutoffs vary from college to college.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
