Hello,

The qualifying cutoff for the ST category in JEE Main 2024 was 46.69 percentile. With an 84.2 percentile, you have qualified for JEE Advanced. Congratulations !

• Estimated Rank: An 84.2 percentile typically corresponds to a Common Rank List (CRL) rank around 131,000. Considering the ST category, your category rank would be significantly lower, likely within the top 5,000.
• NIT Admission Chances: Admission to NITs depends on the specific NIT, branch, and seat availability. With your percentile, you have a reasonable chance of securing a seat in certain NITs, especially in branches with higher closing ranks.
• Next Steps: Participate in the JoSAA counseling process, where you can select your preferred NITs and branches. Monitor the opening and closing ranks for your category to make informed choices.

You can use the JEE Mains Rank predictor tool to predict your rank based on your score.

Wishing you the best !
