Hello Shivam,

With 64 percentile in JEE Mains (OBC category) , getting a seat in NITs, IIITs, or top GFTIs is difficult, but you still have options:

Possible Colleges:

1. State Government Colleges – Some states offer seats through state counseling (like MP, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, etc.).

2. Private Engineering Colleges – Many private universities accept JEE scores (like Amity, LPU, UPES, SRM, VIT , etc.).

3. CSAB Special Rounds – If seats remain vacant in lower NITs/GFTIs , you might get a branch with a lower cutoff.

4. Diploma to B.Tech (Lateral Entry) – Some states allow diploma holders to enter B.Tech directly in 2nd year.

Next Steps:

  • Check state-level counseling where your JEE score might be valid.
  • Look for private colleges that accept JEE percentile for admission.
  • Improve in the April attempt if you want better options.

If you're open to private colleges or state universities, you can still get admission.


I would recommend you to use JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank or percentile.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello,

With a 64 percentile in JEE Main under the OBC category , securing admission in top-tier institutions like NITs or IIITs may be challenging. However, several reputable engineering colleges accept students within this percentile range:

  • Sri Balaji College of Engineering and Technology: Offers various B.Tech programs with an annual fee around Rs. 50,000.
  • Sagar Group of Institutions: Provides engineering courses with fees approximately Rs. 60,000 per year.
  • NIMS University, Jaipur: Offers diverse engineering disciplines with annual fees around Rs. 60,000.
  • Jawaharlal Institute of Technology: Provides B.Tech programs with fees approximately Rs. 1,83,000 per year.
  • Seacom Skills University: Offers engineering courses with annual fees around Rs. 72,000.
  • Additionally, exploring state-level counseling processes in states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar can provide more opportunities, as many state engineering colleges accept JEE Main scores within this range.

You can also use the JEE Mains college predictor tool to predict which college you can get based on your score.

Wishing you the best !
