With an 88.04 percentile in JEE Main 2025, your approximate All India Rank would be around 1.1 to 1.15 lakh. At this rank, getting Computer Science in the top NITs or IIITs through JOSAA counselling is difficult if you're from the general category. However, you still have good options. You may get non-core branches like Mechanical, Civil, or even ECE in some of the newer or northeastern NITs depending on category and home state quota. In IIITs like Nagpur, Bhagalpur, or Manipur, there’s a fair chance to get circuit branches if you go till the last round or participate in CSAB counselling after JOSAA.

If you’re open to private universities, institutes like VIT, SRM, Amrita, LNCT, and Jaypee Noida often take students with your percentile for CSE or IT, either through JEE score or their own exams. State counselling can also give you a solid chance if you’re from states like Maharashtra, West Bengal, Haryana, or Uttar Pradesh. Colleges under these states often offer good options with lower cutoffs for home-state candidates.
