Hello Anjali,

As per your percentile, your rank will be in the bracket of 2.5lac to 2.6lac, for more precise rank check here https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-rank-predictor. So, it's gonna tough for you to get any better government college but don't lose hope as there are fair chances of getting newly opened NITs and IIITs in spot round.

For a private college, you have to check their cutoff individually as there are many private colleges in India. you can check MIT Pune, even from this year IPU is also considering Jee Mains score, so you can apply for these colleges also.

To get admission in NITS or IIITS as general category student need to have a percentile more than 97%. With this percentile getting a government college is difficult though you could get admission in average private colleges affiliated to jee mains. Wait for official cutoffs of colleges to be more sure.

Thank you.

Hi dear,

You have got 79 percentile in JEE main that means your rank should be around 100k. You can also check here.

With this rank you have very low chance to get any government college you may look for private college.

Hope it helps
