Dear aspirant,

As you have mentioned that you have got 97.2 percentile in the jee mains and considering you are in EWS category.

So let me tell you I am the most right person to answer this question as I got the same percentile in the year 2020. So, your predicted rank is 31k approximately. And this would be very accurate. Your EWS rank would be somewhat around 5050.

Coming to the next part of the question , in this percentile you would easily grab good nits like jamshedpur, jalandhar, durgapur,Rourkela(lower branches) ,Silchar,patna.
