Hi dear aspirant

I am extremely sorry to tell you but you will not get a seat in any NITs with just 79.29 percentile

This is because your percentile score is 79 which is low  and with this percentile you will not qualify even JEE Mains and thus without qualifying JEE mains you cannot get into NITs.

For example, last year qualifying cut off for open category was 89 percentile but you have got Only 79.29 percentile and thus based on previous year trends will not be able to qualify JEE mains and thus cannot get into NITs .

Now , If you want to get into NIT what you need to do is prepare well for your July session of JEE Mains , and try to get at least 98 percentile in your JEE mains July session.

B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN

Apply to VIT - VITEEE 2026

To prepare well , you can also go for our JEE mains knockout, link for the same is given below

Hello!!!

Hope you are doing great!!!

Your All india rank would be around 1,79,971 approximately by using the formula 100-79.29*869010/100 where 79.29 is your percentile and 869010 is the number of students appeared in the january session.As per the previous year scenario,With this rank you cannot get seat in any NIT.You may have to appear for the july Session.For checking the probabilities of colleges ,You can use our college predictor.The link is provided below:
