Hii
For your percentile your rank can be calculated using this formula-
(100- percentile)*number of students appeared/100
That will be in general category in range 116500-160800.
Estimation of obc rank is quite diffcult, so it would roughly be one-third of your general rank.
For your rank you have low chances for getting into any of NITs . even you have HS quota in VNIT nagpur, but your rank will not enough to secure a seat in it. Check out the cutoff here https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-cutoff-for-vnit-nagpur
So, prepare for upcoming session. All the best
Hello,
No, There is no chance to get admission in NITs with this percentile. Nits require more than 95 percentile for an OBC category. You can get admission in other good colleges. I would suggest you that you should reappear for jee mains April session.
I hope this helpful for you.
Best wishes!!
Hello Aspirant.
As you've mentioned that you've scored 86.6 percentile in JEE mains and you belong to OBC category.
Your general rank would be around
Rank=(100-percentile)*8690.10
Your general rank would be around 1,16,440-1,16,460. And your OBC rank would be around 29,100-29,200.
At this much rank your chances of getting into a NIT are extremely low as your rank doesn't matches upto the desired level. But you might get good government colleges.
Best of luck !
