Please suggest to approch good entering colleges in Karnataka with JEE 79 percentile
With a 79 percentile in JEE Main, your rank would be around 2.2–2.4 lakhs, which may not fetch top NITs but is still decent for several good private engineering colleges in Karnataka. You can consider colleges like Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, NIE Mysore, JSS Science & Technology University, CMRIT, NMIT, and MSRIT (for non-CSE branches or through spot/management rounds). These colleges often accept students with JEE scores for some quota or have their own counseling/admission process. If you’re flexible with branches and can apply early, you’ll still have a good chance at getting into solid colleges with decent infrastructure and placement support.
While NITs and top IIITs might be out of reach with a 79 percentile, several other reputable government colleges in this range include SAGE University, Symbiosis University, and GITAM University.
You can consider VTU oversees numerous engineering colleges in Karnataka. Explore colleges affiliated with VTU, as many may have admission criteria that align with a 79 percentile, especially if you have a strong 12th-grade academic record.
