Hello Aspirant. 17 percentile is not good for qualifying Jee mains because it means that 83 percent of people who appeared for the exam are ahead of you. For example if 100 people have appeared for the exam then 83 people are ahead of you. So think about 9.75 lakhs students appearing the exam and 83% of 9.75 lakhs students are ahead of you.

So I would recommend you to study hard for the April attempt and try to get a percentile of 80 or above. This can be a good percentile for getting a good college.
