I have 2167 rank in iit jam I need a college this but government I don't know what to do
Hello
With an IIT JAM rank of 2167 in the General category, top-tier Indian Institutes of Technology such as IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur, and IIT Banaras Hindu University are unlikely options, as their closing ranks are typically in the low hundreds to a few thousands. However, you are still in a good position for several reputable government colleges through both the IIT JAM counselling and the Centralised Counselling for Master of Science and Technology (CCMN) channels.
If you belong to the Scheduled Caste category, you have a strong chance at getting admission to IIT Banaras Hindu University in the Master of Science in Physics program.
If you are in the General category, apply through the Centralised Counselling for Master of Science and Technology to National Institutes of Technology such as NIT Silchar, NIT Srinagar, and others.
You should register for the Centralised Counselling for Master of Science and Technology for admission to National Institutes of Technology and Centrally Funded Technical Institutions, and carefully prioritize your preferences in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics.
You may also explore the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research option:
If you are interested, register for the IISER Aptitude Test and aim for a rank below approximately 2000.
Keep alternative plans in mind:
Consider reputable National Institutes of Technology in your state or nearby, such as the National Institute of Technology Agartala, National Institute of Technology Nagpur, and similar institutions
Yes, with a 2167 rank in IIT JAM, you still have chances of getting into government institutes like NITs, IIITs, IISERs, or even newer IITs depending on your subject and category. Make sure to register for the JAM counselling process and fill in as many preferences as possible. You might not get top IITs, but you can still get good programs in applied sciences or interdisciplinary courses in reputed government colleges.
