Hi Ishika,
It is possible to get admission to various engineering colleges in India based on your JEE Main score. The admission process typically considers both your JEE Main score and your performance in the 10+2 board exams (or equivalent). Here are some colleges along with their approximate minimum JEE Main scores required for admission:
1. National Institutes of Technology (NITs): Generally, for most branches, a JEE Main score above 90 percentile is competitive.
2. Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs): Scores above 85 percentile are often required for admission.
3. Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs): These include institutes like IIEST Shibpur, BIT Mesra, and many others. Scores around 80 percentile can be competitive.
4. State Engineering Colleges: Admission criteria vary widely across states and colleges. Generally, cutoffs range between 60 to 70 percentile depending on the state and the college's reputation.
5. Private Engineering Colleges: Many private colleges also admit students based on JEE Main scores. Exact cutoffs can vary significantly but are often lower compared to NITs and IIITs.
It's important to note that these are approximate figures and can vary each year based on factors like the difficulty of the exam and the number of applicants. Always check the official websites of the colleges you're interested in for the most accurate and updated information regarding cutoffs and admissions criteria.
Hope this helps you!
