With a 94.8 percentile in JEE Main 2025, yes, you do have a chance to get into an NIT, especially for Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, depending on a few factors:
Estimated General Rank:
Around 55,000 – 65,000
Chances by Category:
General: Chances are low for top NITs, but you may get lower-ranked NITs (like NIT Puducherry, NIT Nagaland, etc.) in later rounds.
OBC-NCL: Decent chances in mid-tier NITs.
SC/ST: Very good chances in top and mid-tier NITs.
At 94.8 percentile in JEE Mains 2025, your expected All India Rank (AIR) would be around 52,000–60,000 (approximate).
Chances for Mechanical/Electrical at NITs:
- If you have home state quota in newer or lower-ranked NITs, you may get Mechanical or Electrical in:
- NIT Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Sikkim
- NIT Puducherry, Uttarakhand
- Through other state quota, it's tough to get these branches in top NITs like Trichy, Warangal, or Surathkal.
