Hi,

With your percentile of approximately 86 in JEE Mains 2024 and considering your academic performance in 12th grade, you still have several options for engineering colleges. While your 12th-grade percentage may impact your chances at some institutes, your JEE Mains percentile opens up possibilities for admission to various colleges. Here are some potential options:

1. National Institute of Technology (NITs) : You may have opportunities to secure admission to some NITs for branches like Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, etc. Your JEE Mains percentile is within a range that may offer you admission to NITs despite your 12th-grade percentage.

2. Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIITs) : Several IIITs across the country offer excellent engineering programs. With your percentile, you may have chances at IIITs like IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Bangalore, IIIT Delhi, etc., for branches such as Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), etc.

3. Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) : These include institutes like IIEST Shibpur, NSIT Delhi, DTU Delhi, etc. Your JEE Mains percentile may qualify you for admission to some GFTIs despite your 12th-grade percentage.

4. State Government Engineering Colleges : Depending on the state you belong to, you may have options for state government engineering colleges where admission criteria may consider JEE Mains score prominently.

5. Private Engineering Colleges : Many private engineering colleges across India accept JEE Mains scores for admission. You may explore options in private colleges based on your percentile.

While your 12th-grade percentage may not be very high, your JEE Mains percentile is still competitive, and you have opportunities for admission to various engineering colleges.

Your JEE Main Percentile of 86 and rank appropriately 1.4 Lakh is a decent score, but the availability of colleges depends on various factors such as the branch you are interested in, your category and the reservation policies of different colleges.

With your percentile you might not get into popular branches in top NITs, but may have chance of getting admission to some NITs and some good private Engineering Colleges.
