Bennett University
KIIT University
These private universities offer a variety of engineering branches and are accessible at a 97 percentile in JEE Main. (https://collegedunia.com/exams/jee-main/rank-vs-marks)
With a 97 percentile, candidates have strong chances for core branches like Computer Science, Electronics, Mechanical, and Civil in several NITs and IIITs, especially in newer or less competitive campuses.
Admission to the most sought-after branches (like CSE) in the very top NITs (e.g., NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal) may be challenging, as their cutoffs are often above 98-99 percentile. (https://collegedunia.com/exams/jee-main/rank-vs-marks)
Many IIITs and state-level government engineering colleges also accept candidates in this percentile range (https://www.collegedekho.com/articles/iiits-for-97-percentile-in-jee-main-engineering/) (https://universitykart.com/articledetails/top-engineering-colleges-accepting-97-percentile-in-jee-main) .
