Hello Ankan Das,

For your jee percentile you can calculate the rank using the formula (100-your total percentile)*869010/100. if the number of candidates for april exam increased to 1200000 then your final rank would be (100-your total score)*1200000/100.

based on your score upto now your rank might be 130,351.

you can use college predictor of careers360:

and here is the link, based on your rank you can find out your nit's..remember, below link details are based on previous years estimates:

Hope the answer is relevant.

All the best.

You haven't mentioned the State you belong to. This is important to know because the cut offs are different for Home State Candidates and Other State Candidates. So do please let us know your Home State. Meanwhile,your rank can be predicted by using the formula, (100-your total percentile)*869010/100. In your case, your approximate rank would be 121661. Let's say the number of candidates for April exam increased to 12,00,000 then your final rank shall be (100 - your total score) X 12,00,000/100.


With this rank, it might be difficult for NIT. You might be able to get a decent college through JOSAA depending on the State you belong to.  But if you want to appear for JEE Advanced, you are on the border line because the expected qualifying percentile gor JEE Advanced is 85 and more.
