I got 71.69%ile in second jee main exam. Can I get any third tire nit or iiit

With a 71.69%ile in JEE Main, your chances of getting into a third-tier NIT or IIIT are possible, especially for less competitive branches like Civil or Mechanical Engineering. However, for high-demand branches like CSE, the chances are low. It depends on the specific NIT/IIIT and their cutoffs.

Hey there! Scoring a 71.69 percentile in your second JEE Main attempt is a decent achievement. It definitely opens up possibilities for securing a seat in some of the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) or Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), especially those that are often categorized as "third-tier."

Think of it this way: the top-tier NITs and IIITs are super competitive, like the most popular ice cream flavors. Your percentile might make it a bit challenging to get those. However, there are many other really good NITs and IIITs out there, maybe not as widely known, but still offering quality education and opportunities, just like other delicious ice cream flavors you might not have tried yet. These are what we often refer to as the third-tier institutions.

With your percentile, you absolutely have a good chance of getting into one of these third-tier NITs or IIITs. The specific branch you might get will depend on a few things, like the cutoffs for different branches in these institutes and the number of seats available. Generally, branches like Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or even some of the newer or less sought-after branches in Computer Science might be within your reach.

To get a clearer picture, it would be really helpful to check the previous year's cutoff ranks for these third-tier NITs and IIITs. Websites like JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) will have this information. Keep an open mind about the specific branch and location, and you'll likely find a good fit for your engineering journey. Don't get discouraged; a lot of successful engineers graduate from these institutions!
