I got 96 marks in jee mains paper 1 .which NIT I should prefer that will give me CSE branch??
Dear aspirant,
Considering that you have got 96 percentile in jee mains paper 1. In any decent nit atleast in top 20 you won't able to grab a seat in computer science branch. For computer science a percentile of 99 is needed to get into a good nit.
I would request you to mention your home state in the comment box so that I can give you a clear picture of your chances. If you home state is one of these like.mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Srinagar then you can get computer science here but I would suggest you to not to get into these nits as the placements here are not good as of a standard nit is considered.
