Hello there,

With a 77 percentile in JEE Mains 2025 and belonging to the ST category, you have a good chance of getting admission to various engineering colleges, especially in state-level or lower NITs. However, the exact colleges and branches depend on various factors such as:

1. Your state domicile : Being from a particular state may improve your chances in state-level colleges and help you avail state reservation.
   
   

2. Opening and closing ranks : These vary each year, so you can check the previous year's cutoffs to gauge your chances.

3. Choice of branch : Some branches have a lower cutoff, so you may have better chances in branches like Civil, Chemical, or Electrical engineering as compared to Computer Science or Electronics.

Some options to consider:

• State Government Engineering Colleges : Colleges like those under AP EAMCET, TS EAMCET, or other state-level exams.
  
  

• NITs : Some NITs may have a higher closing rank for ST category, but with 77 percentile, you may get some NITs for branches like Civil or Mechanical.
  
  

• Other Central Universities : Universities like Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), or other such institutions may also have good chances for you.

It is advised to go through the opening and closing ranks from previous years to predict where you might land. You can also apply to multiple colleges for better opportunities.
