Dear Jarpula,

 As you know the rank of JEE main is still not declared .so at this time it is very difficult to say about the cutoff of any college.

but according to experts of  many well recognised institutions.the cutoff of JEE main will be 80 to 85 percentile or above.

so sorry but there is no chance for getting NIT.

hope you understand

try once more

thank you so much.

Hello aspirant,
Your NTA percentile is good.But we can't exactly predict cut offs based on your NTA percentile.
We can calculate the expected rank based on your NTA percentile by using the formula:
Rank=(100-NTA Percentile)*874469/100
Your expected rank may be 1,89847(approximately).
But you may have reservations based on your category.You may get nits but try to improve your percentile to get in top nits.
The official cut offs will be released in the month of April after the second JEE mains exam which will be conducted in the month of April.
So please wait for the official cut offs.
Here I will provide you the careers 360 link where you will get the information about the previous year cut offs.

Please prepare well for the second JEE mains exam.
All the best and if you have any queries please drop a comment!

Thank you!!!!!!

Hello.

Your predicted rank is about 2.31 lakh and category rank is about 4350. You might be eligible for some NITs with this ranking. However, this rank may change as only the best of the score of the two attempts will be considered for your final rank list.

Refer this link to check previous year cutoff:

Good luck!

Hello,

I would like to tell you congrats on your score.

I would like to tell you that the score is kind of less for NIT's but as you are from ST category, you may have a chance at it.

It's not possible to go for the core branches but you can try for the lower branches at the lower NIT's as well.

I would suggest you visit the below given careers360's lin which has a detailed explanation of the NIT's cutoff.

Hope this helps and all the very best!
