I got 74%lie in jee main 2025 will I get collage from SC catogary

With a 74 percentile in JEE Main 2025 and belonging to the SC category , you have a good chance of getting admission into government engineering colleges particularly through JoSAA counselling though it depends on the CRL and SC category rank .

Estimated SC Category Rank:

• A 74 percentile roughly corresponds to a CRL rank of around 2.5–3 lakh .

• This would place your SC category rank around 15,000–20,000 (approx), depending on total candidates.

Colleges You Can Target:

1. NITs (Lower Ranked or North-East Region)

You may have chances in:

• NIT Mizoram

• NIT Nagaland

• NIT Meghalaya

• NIT Arunachal Pradesh

• NIT Sikkim

• NIT Puducherry (less likely but worth trying)

Courses could include lower-demand branches like:

• Mechanical

• Civil

• Biotechnology

CSE may be tough, but CSE at newer NITs might still be possible in later rounds.

2. IIITs

• Difficult for CSE, but possible for non-core branches at newer IIITs like IIIT Agartala or IIIT Una in spot rounds.

3. State Government Colleges

• You can get good options through your home state quota (especially if your state has reservation and TFW schemes for SC).

4. Private Colleges with Scholarship

• Many good private colleges offer full or partial fee waivers for SC students (like SRM, VIT, LPU, etc.).

What You Should Do:

• Participate in JoSAA counselling .

• Also apply through your state counseling portal .

• Keep backups in private colleges with SC scholarships.
