Rishabh, NTA conducts two papers viz. Jee Mains Paper 1 and Paper 2 for entrance to B.Tech and B.Arch respectively.In your case, you have not specified whether you want to inquire about your chances based on percentile secured in JEE MAIN PAPER-1 or JEE MAIN PAPER-2. So, I am going to answer your query taking into consideration that the query is about Paper2 and if your query was different, then you can let me know.

Now, to calculate your expected rank for B.Arch based on the percentile score that you have secured, you can use this formula:


So, (100 - your total percentile score) is the percentage of people ahead of you. Also, 112679 were the number of candidates who appeared for January exam.

So rank formula is (100 - your total score) X 112679 /100.

Also,note that the ranks will change according to increase or decrease in the number of participants in the next session.

Now, according to this formula, your expected rank is around 12856. The admission to any college also depends on your home state and category status and you have not given details about the same. However,In your case, your chances of getting any NITs are very small irrespective of your home state and gender as evident from the previous years cutoff trends.

However, you have a decent enough percentile and it could give you admission to some good private institutes accepting JEE scores and hence you should try for the same. Also, you have another attempt to go in the next session and so you should concentrate on that to boost your scores.

Also, if you want to predict your colleges using your scores, you can use this college predictor
