Hi

With your percentile score,

your rank is given by


( 100-your percentile score ) * Total number of students that appeared in JEE mains January session /100.

= (100 - 82   )*869010 /100

=  156421

With this rank , you cannot get a seat in NIT Rourkela. For example,  last year a rank of 10531was required for OBC category for electrical engineering under home state quota in NIT Rourkela

So , to get into NIT Rourkela you need to get around 98.5 to 99 percentile in your JEE mains July session i.e around 170-180 marks

To prepare well for july session , follow the below tips:-

B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN
