Next year’s JEE Mains Pattern is still unclear. But most Probably the pattern would remains same ,but JEE Mains Ranks will be solely based on marks obtained in JEE Mains Paper 1 for engineering (i.e B.Tech).

So the cutoff and other related stuffs are likely to be same as previous AIEEE.

So a rank under 10–15k can fetch you a top NITs. Accordingly your score in JEE Mains Paper 1 should be more than 180+ (200+ to be on the safer side) atleast. For lower ranked NITs 150+ must do the job.

And also your rank depends upon difficulty level of that year’s paper and since the the merit list determining cretria has changed nothing can be said accurately.

Target for top NITs like NIT-K,W,T
