Hello there,

Yes, your son is eligible for JoSAA counselling with a JEE Main percentile of 90.62.

Key points:

  • JoSAA counselling is for candidates who have qualified JEE Main and meet the minimum eligibility criteria.

  • Candidates usually need at least 75% in Class 12 (65% for SC/ST) or be in the top 20 percentile of their board.

  • Physics and Mathematics are compulsory subjects in Class 12, along with Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, or a technical subject.

  • A percentile of 90.62 roughly corresponds to a rank between 70,000 and 80,000, making your son eligible for many NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs.

  • Admission to top branches like Computer Science might be difficult at this rank, but chances are better for other branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical.

Your son should register on the JoSAA website when counselling opens, fill in choices, and participate in the seat allotment process.


I would recommend you to use the JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Yes, a score of 90.62 percentile in JEE Main generally qualifies a student for JoSAA counselling. While this percentile doesn't guarantee admission to the most competitive programs like IITs, it allows participation in JoSAA for NITs, IIITs, and other engineering colleges. Admission to these institutions depends on the final rank and the choices made during the counselling process.

JoSAA Eligibility:

JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) is the centralized counselling body for admission to IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutions). Generally, any student who qualifies for JEE Main or JEE Advanced is eligible to participate in JoSAA counselling.

90.62 Percentile:

A 90.62 percentile in JEE Main indicates a strong performance and a reasonable chance of securing a seat in NITs and other engineering colleges.

Factors Influencing Admission:

Admission to specific institutes and programs within JoSAA depends on the student's overall rank, their choices during the counselling process, and the available seats.

Reserved Categories:

Reserved category students (SC, ST, OBC, EWS, PwD) may have lower cutoffs for JoSAA counselling.

State Counselling:

Apart from JoSAA, students may also be able to participate in state-level counselling for admissions to state-funded institutions.
