Key Notes
-
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) .
For the most accurate and up-to-date list, always refer to the official JoSAA counseling portal and institute-specific cutoffs after each round of seat allocation.
