My percentile is 95.9 in JEE Mains & in 12th PCM - 94% marks. I am a general category student. I have not received the CS in VIT & Thapar. What are the options for me now to get a good place.

Hello aspirant,looking at your percentile your AIR will be somewhere around 45k-50k .With this rank it is difficult for you to get the top branches in top 10 NIT's.You can get a better branch if you choose the College of your home state as you can avail the Home State Quota.You can't get into NIT Trichy,Warangal,Surathkal,Allahabad.

In the other NIT's like Rourkela,Durgapur,Patna you can get branches like Food Processing,Ceramic Engineering,Production Engineering .

You can get CS or other technical branches if you go for North-Eastern NIT's like NIT Mizoram,NIT Silchar .

B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN

Apply to Amrita University B.Tech 2026

But JEE Advanced is not held yet ,you can work hard and prepare for it then you can get into IIT's.

Don't lose hope, it's not that if you get into CS you will succeed or else not.

Hello,
Your percentile roughly translates to a score of ~45-50k.
If you are not interested in core branches of NITs or IIITs I suggest you to apply for other colleges such as ::
  • UPES, Dehradun
  • JMI, Delhi

Hope this helps!

Thank you.
