Hello,

With 80 percentile in JEE Mains and SC category, you have a good chance of securing admission in NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. However, admission to IITs is only through JEE Advanced, not JEE Mains. Here’s what you can expect:

NITs (National Institutes of Technology)

You may have a good chance at lower NITs or less popular branches in mid-tier NITs.

With 80 percentile in JEE Main (SC category), you are likely eligible for JEE Advanced. Admission to IITs depends on your JEE Advanced rank, typically within the top 6,000 for SC candidates. Focus on JEE Advanced preparation to improve your chances. Also, consider NITs, IIITs, and other top institutes based on your JEE Main rank.

Congratulations on scoring 80 percentile in JEE Main!


As an SC category student, you'll have a relaxed cutoff compared to the general category. However, the exact cutoffs vary from year to year and depend on several factors, including:


1. Number of students appearing in the exam

2. Difficulty level of the exam

3. Seat availability in IITs


That being said, here are some IITs where you might have a chance with an 80 percentile score in JEE Main, considering the SC category:


1. _IIT Dhanbad_: Known for its mining and mineral engineering programs.

2. _IIT Jodhpur_: Offers programs in engineering, science, and humanities.

3. _IIT Bhilai_: A relatively new IIT, offering programs in engineering and science.

4. _IIT Goa_: Another new IIT, offering programs in engineering, science, and humanities.

5. _IIT Palakkad_: Offers programs in engineering, science, and humanities.


Keep in mind that these are just possibilities, and the actual cutoffs might vary. It's essential to check the official JEE Main website and the individual IIT websites for the latest information on cutoffs and admission procedures.


Additionally, consider the following:


1. _JoSAA Counselling_ : You'll need to participate in the JoSAA counselling process to secure a seat in an IIT.

2. _Other options_: Don't limit yourself to just IITs. Explore other top engineering colleges in India, such as NITs, IIITs, and private universities.


Stay updated, and best of luck with your admissions!
