Hello,
You have not clearly mentioned if you belong to OBC-NCL or OBC-CL. Candidates belonging to OBC-CL are considered as General category candidates. In 2020 the qualifying cut off percentile for General category was 90.3765335 percentile and for OBC-NCL it was 72.8887969 percentile. For JEE Main 2021 the qualifying cut off percentile for general category is expected to be in between 90-95 percentile and for OBC-NCL it is expected to be in between 70-75 percentile. SO if you belong to OBC-NCL you may qualify in JEE Main 2021, you can prepare for JEE advanced but if you come under OBC-CL then you may not qualify as the cut off percentile for general category is expected to be in between 90-95, you need to prepare for JEE Main remaining sessions and score well.
Based on the expected percentile you rank is expected to be in between 132990 - 149500. It is difficult to get seat in NITs/IIITs with such rank. However, you may have chances of getting seat in private colleges accepting JEE Main score. Here is the list of few colleges in which you may get seat
- Rajiv Gandhi College of Engineering & Research, Hingna Road, Nagpur: IT
- Bharati Vidyapeeth's College of Engineering,Lavale, Pune: Mechanical
- ST. Vincent Pallotti College of Engineering & Technology, Nagpur: ETE
Cut off is subjected to change, it may increase or decrease depending on number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of exam and number of seats available etc.
