Hello there,

With a 74 percentile and 1,38,000 rank in JEE Main, getting a free seat (i.e., full tuition fee waiver or zero fees) in CSE with AI & ML specialization is quite difficult in top NITs, IIITs, or reputed government colleges, especially in the general category.

However, you may have a chance in:

• Lower-tier private universities or state engineering colleges (especially if your state has tuition fee reimbursement schemes for reserved categories like SC, ST, OBC, EWS, or for girl students).
  
  

• Colleges in states like Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, or Rajasthan where state quota and category reservations may offer subsidized or full fee reimbursement based on eligibility.

  Recommended

If you belong to a reserved category or have applied under fee reimbursement schemes, you might get a seat with minimal or no fees. Please check your state’s counselling portal or mention your category and state for better guidance.

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.

Dear candidate,

With 74 percentile in jee mains and an all india rank 138000  getting a free seat in the (i.e., full tuition waiver) in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) at top-tier institutions like NITs, IIITs, or premier private universities is highly competitive.

But, there are alternate options to consider like state quotas, new institutions, through scholarship programs etc

All the best!!

So you got 74 percentile in jee mains which is extremely low for any branch in the colleges like Nit's and even in top private college  and if you want Branch like AI/ML which is considerd as the top branches in engineering colleges if i assume your category- In general category its impossible .

In Sc category it is again impossible you can get low branches but the chances are extremely low.

I will recommend you to prepare again or give some state exam paper for eg.MHTCET ETC. You can also give viteee and other private colleges exam but for branch like AI/ML you need to score very high.

Thankyou.
