I got a 81%ile in January attempt. My category is obc nd I'm from Jharkhand state so can I get a good clg with decent branch??

With an 81 percentile in JEE Main , your options for top-tier NITs (National Institutes of Technology) or IIITs (Indian Institutes of Information Technology) are limited, especially for high-demand branches like Computer Science (CSE) or Electronics (ECE). However, you have several viable paths for a B.Tech degree, particularly within your home state of Jharkhand.

Potential Colleges and Branches

Given your percentile, you should focus on institutions that accept JEE Main scores but have broader cutoff ranges:

Focus Area

State Engineering Colleges

BIT Sindri (Dhanbad), NIAMT (Ranchi)

Often have lower cutoffs for core branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Metallurgical Engineering.

Private Universities in Jharkhand

BIT Mesra (Ranchi), Arka Jain University (Jamshedpur)

BIT Mesra is highly regarded. You may find opportunities in core branches, though tuition will be higher than in government institutes.

Other State/Regional Institutes

CIT Ranchi, Dumka Engineering College

These are accessible and provide a gateway to a degree, often with a focus on core engineering subjects.
