hello aspirant,

76 percentile would fetch you a rank around 245520-276000.As of now its tough to say because the analysis and also cutoffs change every year due to many factors like total students appearing for exam,difficulty level of paper etc with your percentile you have tough chances to fetch seat for fetching in nits,iiits.you need better percentile of 98+  to fetch seat in top nits,iiits..you can try in private engineering colleges using your jee percentile. workhard for the upcoming jeemain sessions..you can get closing rank for josaa official website: https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx  ..for top private engineering colleges you can try  for the below colleges through jeemains:

Hi

Your profile suggests that your home state is Madhya Pradesh

With 76 percentile

I am  sorry to tell you but with this rank you have very low chances in any NIT, even in lower ones.

For example,

Cosing rank for some of the nits for which closing rank goes low are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2020 under other state  for general category  :-

  • National Institute of Technology Sikkim, Civil Engineering :- 47412

  • National Institute of Technology, Andhra Pradesh, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering :- 47207

  • National Institute of Technology, Mizoram, Civil Engineering:- 49757

  • National Institute of Technology Agartala, Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering :- 50,010

You can check the same at

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

From above, it is clear that you need at least a rank of around 45,000 - 50,000 to get into an NIT under other state quota. And to get a rank in this range, you need at atleast around 96 percentile as per our rank predictor at
