Hii
Congratulations for good score. For your percentile your rank can be calculated from the formula
(100- percentile)* number of students appeared/100
It comes in range 5200-7200.
Since you did not mentioned your category and home state quota, I am considering you general and have Outside state quota. Last year the closing rank for this parameter was 9667. So, it seems you have high chance for getting it. For more details on cutoff, chcek it https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-cutoff-nit-jalandhar
Hope it helps
You can calculate your rank in JEE Main Paper 1 using the formula:
Rank = (100-percentile)*(No. of students appeared for the examination)/100
As the no. of students appeared for Paper 1 (Jan) are around 869000, your rank will be around 5000. However as the no. of students in April changes, your rank will change according to that.
With this rank, there are good chances of getting CS Branch at NIT Jalandhar. You can check the last years’ cutoffs using the link given :
