Hello,

Scoring 105 marks in JEE Main 2025 typically translates to a percentile between 88 and 91 , depending on the shift difficulty. Based on this score, here's what you can expect:

1. Predict Your Approximate Rank (General Category)

  • Marks : 105

  • Expected Percentile : ~89–90

  • Expected CRL Rank : ~1,00,000 to 1,20,000

If you belong to a reserved category (OBC/SC/ST/EWS) , your category rank will be much better and can open up better options.

2. College Options Based on Category and Branch

A. For General Category

You might get:

  • Lower-ranked NITs (North-East states like NIT Nagaland, NIT Mizoram, NIT Sikkim) — less competitive branches like Civil, Metallurgy.

  • IIITs : Some newer IIITs for non-core branches.

  • GFTIs : Government-funded technical institutes like

    1. Assam University (CSE, ECE)

    2. Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar

B. For OBC/EWS Category

  • You may get CSE/ECE in newer NITs (Nagaland, Meghalaya, Puducherry).

  • Core branches in NIT Srinagar, NIT Agartala, NIT Goa .

  • Decent IIITs like IIIT Una, IIIT Bhagalpur.

C. For SC/ST Category

  • You have a good chance at core branches in mid-tier NITs like NIT Jalandhar, NIT Hamirpur.

  • Possible CSE/IT in some IIITs and good GFTIs.

3. What Should You Do Next?

  • Use JoSAA College Predictor tools (based on your category and home state).

  • Consider state counselling for better chances (e.g., MP, Maharashtra, Telangana).

  • If you're aiming for better NITs/IIITs, you can prepare for JEE Main Session 2 to improve your score.

Hello Aspirant,

With 105 marks in JEE Main, your percentile would likely be around 85–88 , depending on the session's difficulty. Based on this:

  1. Government Colleges : Getting top NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs is unlikely unless you fall under a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) and have a home state quota.

  2. State Government Colleges : You may have chances in lower-tier state engineering colleges through state counselling like in MP, Rajasthan, or Haryana, especially if you belong to that state.

  3. Private Colleges : You can apply for good private universities like LPU, Amity, SRM, Manipal, or UPES . Some may offer scholarships based on your JEE score.

  4. CSAB Round : You can also try your luck in CSAB special round for leftover seats in GFTIs and NITs.


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.

Hello there,

With a score of 105 marks in JEE Mains , your rank will depend on the overall performance of other candidates and the category you belong to. Here's an estimated range of what you could expect based on your marks:

1. General Category

  • For a General category candidate, a score of 105 is likely to result in a rank around 50,000 to 60,000 (approx).

  • This might make it difficult to get a seat in top NITs or IIITs, but you may still have a chance in some lower-ranked NITs, GFTIs, or private institutions.

    2. Reserved Categories (SC, ST, OBC)

  • If you belong to a reserved category, your chances of getting a seat in NITs or other government-funded institutes (like GFTIs ) increase, even with a score of 105, as reserved category candidates usually have a lower cutoff.

    3. Private Colleges

  • You can also look at private colleges like VIT Vellore , Manipal University , or Shiv Nadar University that accept JEE Main scores for admission. These universities often have higher cutoffs , but there may still be opportunities in some courses with your score.

    4. Other Options

  • You can also consider state-level engineering colleges or deemed universities that offer admission based on JEE Mains or their own entrance exams.

    Conclusion:

With 105 marks , you might not get top-tier government colleges like NITs or IIITs , but you can explore other options such as private universities or lower-ranked NITs . Checking the specific cutoff trends for different colleges in your category will help you narrow down your options.
