Dear aspirant,

As you mentioned that you have got 74 percentile in jee mains but even if i consider your sc category rank still it is a bit difficult to get into nit jalandhar as the cut off for is a bit high. The cut off for sc category is almost 9k.

So, try to keep your percentile atleast 80+ to be on a safer side.

No, with 74 Percentile you might not be able to secure a seat at NIT Jalandhar. At 74 Percentile, you CRL would be anywhere between 260-280k, with a Corresponding SC Rank between 15-17k. The Last SC Cutoff Round 6 for NIT Jalandhar Biotechnology in 2020 was 8781 in Other State Category. While in Home State Category, Textile Technology NIT Jalandhar closed at 16.5k SC Rank, while Industrial &Production closed at 14.2k.

Hence, irrespective of OS or HS Category, being from SC Quota you need to target atleast a SC Rank of 7-8k, for excellent chances in securing a seat at NIT Jalandhar. For this you must target a CRL anywhere around 150k or 85-87 Percentile in JEE Main.
