Hello Pratham,

with 83 percentile as a general male candidate and home state quota, getting yop branches like CSE or ECE in top NITs is difficult. you can look foor core branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Chemical in newer or lower tier NITs. participate in all JoSAA rounds and consider state engineering colleges for better branch options.

Hello there,

With an 83 percentile in JEE Mains as a general male candidate from your home state, here are some potential branches you can look into for admission to engineering colleges:

1. Popular but Competitive Branches (may be more difficult to get based on your percentile):

   • Computer Science Engineering (CSE)

   • Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE)

   • Mechanical Engineering (ME)
     
     

2. Moderately Competitive Branches :

   • Electrical Engineering (EE)

   • Civil Engineering (CE)

   • Information Technology (IT)
     
     

3. Other Branches You Can Explore :

   • Biotechnology

   • Agricultural Engineering

   • Environmental Engineering

   • Chemical Engineering
     
     Things to Consider:

• College Category : Home state preference can work in your favor in state-level institutions.
  
  

• Choice of College : If you're looking at NITs or IIITs, branches like CSE, ECE, and IT may be highly competitive, but you could explore branches like Civil, Electrical, or Mechanical, where the cutoff could be relatively lower.
  
  

• Future Career Prospects : All engineering branches have good career opportunities, but emerging fields like IT, Data Science, AI, and Biotechnology might offer higher growth prospects.
  
  Recommendation:

• Look into the specific NITs or state colleges where your home state quota might give you an edge. Also, choose a branch you're genuinely interested in, as it will determine your long-term success and satisfaction.
