Hello there,

With an 80 percentile in JEE Mains, your rank would be around 80,000 to 90,000. In the last days of counseling, you might have limited options in government colleges, but you can still explore:

1. State Government Colleges : Some state engineering colleges may offer seats for your rank, especially in branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering. You can check the state-level counseling for options.
   
   

2. NITs and IIITs : Chances of getting a seat in top NITs or IIITs might be low with this percentile, but you can still try for lower NITs or IIITs, depending on the opening and closing ranks.

3. GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes) : Some GFTIs may have open seats in the last round, particularly for less-demanded branches.

It’s best to stay updated with the counseling process and be ready for the last-minute options that open up. Keep an eye on JoSAA and your state counseling portals for availability.

Hello there,

With 80 percentile in JEE Mains (1st session), your chances for top NITs or IIITs are low, especially in earlier rounds. But in the last rounds or special spot rounds , you might get:

• Lower-ranked NITs or IIITs in branches like Metallurgy, Production, or Civil.

• Home state quota seats in NITs if your state has less competition.

• GFTIs (Government-Funded Technical Institutes) like:

  • Assam University, Silchar

  • Gurukula Kangri, Haridwar

  • University of Hyderabad (if applicable)

Your category, home state, and gender also affect chances. If you belong to SC/ST/OBC, chances improve. Keep checking CSAB Special Rounds – many seats remain vacant and you can grab a seat there. Use JoSAA and CSAB predictors for better clarity.
