Hello there,

With a SC category rank of 70,000 and a Common Rank List (CRL) rank of 800,000 in JEE Main 2025, securing admission to a government engineering college in Delhi through JoSAA or JAC Delhi counselling is highly unlikely.

Understanding the Cutoffs

JoSAA Counselling (NIT Delhi):

• Previous Year SC Category Closing Ranks: For NIT Delhi, the closing ranks for SC category candidates under the Home State quota ranged approximately between 91,696 and 217,129 .
  
  
  

• Your Position: Your SC rank of 70,000 is significantly higher (i.e., worse) than the closing ranks from previous years, making admission through JoSAA counselling improbable.
  
  JAC Delhi Counselling (DTU, NSUT, IIIT-D, IGDTUW, DSEU):

• Previous Year SC Category Closing Ranks: For institutions like DTU and NSUT, the closing ranks for SC category candidates were well below 10,000 .
  
  

• Your Position: With a SC rank of 70,000, securing a seat in these institutions through JAC Delhi counselling is highly unlikely.
  
  Alternative Options

Given the competitive nature of admissions and your current ranks, consider the following alternatives:

1. State-Level Counselling: Explore engineering colleges in other states where the cutoff ranks might be more accommodating.
   
   

2. Private Engineering Colleges: Consider reputed private institutions that accept JEE Main scores and may have more flexible admission criteria.
   
   

3. Other Entrance Exams: Look into other engineering entrance exams that are still open for applications or have different eligibility criteria.
   
   

4. Diploma to Degree Programs: Enroll in a diploma program with the option to transition to a degree course later, depending on performance.
