Hello,
With this JEE main percentile you cannot get a seat in any government colleges like NITs, IIITs but you might get some lower branches in some GFTIs. Your rank would be more than 100 k. Actually all the seats get filled up at around 50 k.


The previous answer is totally wrong. I don't want to hurt you but I want you to be realistic. You can verify it yourself by using the Jee main college predictor by careers360 which will give you near exact information about which colleges you can get.

Since you won't get any government colleges for engineering, you should go for some good private engineering colleges like Sharda, Manipal,SRM etc.
You can work hard there and make a difference. At last it all depends on how hard you work and your dedication. It does not matter whether you are from some government colleges or some private engineering colleges.

Hi Abhishek,

   Hearty congratulations on your percentage !!

Since, you have reservation for SC and you have an aggregate of 88%. So, you have higher chances of getting admission in top most NIT's for sure. Branch is not that compulsory because ypu can choose it on your own and also you can get seat in CSE, ECE, IT, EEE, MECHANICAL, etc.., 

Make sure you attend the counselling session after you finish your JEE-advanced and stay motivated !!

Good luck!!
