I got 82 in January mains how will you suggest me?
Dhanvesh, I believe 82 is your NTA score or percentile and not the actual marks scored. So I will be answering considering that. In case your actual scored marks are 82, you can check your percentile on the official website of JEE Mains and calculate your expected rank using the below formulae.
Now your expected JEE Mains rank can be calculated using the formula:
(100-your total percentile) x 869010/100
So with 82 percentile, your rank would be around 156421.
Also, if the number of students increases to 12 lakh in the April session, the formula for rank calculation would change to:
(100-your total percentile) x 1200000/100
Hence your expected rank in this case would be around 216000.
Now the cutoff percentile is expected to change every year depending on the number of seats available and the number of students appearing. While it is difficult to predict the exact qualifying cutoff, a percentile of 85 or above is decent enough to qualify for JEE Advanced. You can also go through the previous years' cutoff to get an idea. In 2019, the NTA score cutoff for the Common Rank List was 89.7548849
According to your percentile, it will be difficult to clear the cutoffs for JEE Advanced. Also you won't be able to get a seat in the top NITs or IIITs with this rank. You might be able to get a seat through Home State quota depending on which state you are eligible from. I would suggest you to sit for the April session and give your best in that exam so that your chance of qualifying JEE Mains and getting a top college increases. Solve the previous years' papers, brush up your concepts and revise thoroughly.
