Hi

Marks vs percentile  on the page is just approx  marks vs percentile , so the actual  percentile varies a bit and don't worry 98 percentile is also decent score.

With 98 percentile  ,

  • your rank will be  around 16,000.For  rank vs marks vs percentile you can refer to our page for which link is provided below:-

The above rank is just estimated rank  the actual rank  will vary a bit as above prediction is on the basis of past year trends but marks vs percentile vs rank  keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like  number of students that appeared in the exam, kind of marks obtained by them , toughness level of the examination for different shifts of the exam etc

Or you can use our rank predictor at

And yes, with above predicted  rank , you have  chances to get a seat in NITs, for example you have chances in

  • NIT srinagar :- computer science  engineering

  • NIT patna:- Electrical Engineering

  • Nit sikkim :- computer science engineering

  • Nit goa :- Electrical and Electronics Engineering

And  more
