Hello,
Yes, you can get admission in DTU and IIIT Hyderabad with an outstanding JEE Main rank, as long as you pass Class 12 with at least 60% marks in PCM.
if we talk about DTU (Delhi Technological University) — you must have at least 60% in PCM and pass all subjects. The 75% rule is not strictly applicable here, so you can get admission based on your JEE Main rank and Delhi quota, if applicable.
For IIIT Hyderabad, admission is based on JEE Main percentile/rank, but the institute also requires a minimum of 60% in Class 12 (PCM). So, even with less than 75%, you are eligible if you meet this 60% requirement.
Hope you understand. ALL THE BEST.
Hey pravin!
If you were not able to see IIT Bangalore in the admission predictor result for JEE mains as per your rank and category then there is a possibility that you do not qualify or lie under the rank cutoff of IIT Bangalore.
You can recheck this by using a JEE mains college predictor https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-college-predictor
and confirm whether you can get iit Bangalore or not. If you want to check the cutoff and other details about iit Bangalore manually then you can refer to https://www.careers360.com/university/international-institute-of-information-technology-bangalore
Feel free to ask if you have any other query regarding the same!
HEY THERE!!!,Based on your details:
April 2025 session score: 130 marks (2nd April, 2nd shift)
January 2025 percentile: 91.27
Category: OBC-NCL
Here’s a detailed analysis of your expected percentile, rank, and IIIT admission chances :
In recent JEE Main sessions, 130 marks typically corresponds to a percentile between 95 and 97 , depending on the paper’s difficulty and competition.
Since your January percentile was 91.27 for a lower score, your April percentile should be higher-likely in the 95–96.5 range .
With a percentile of 95–96.5 , your expected rank would be in the range of 60,000 to 40,000 (approximate, as actual ranks depend on the number of candidates and session normalization).
For OBC-NCL, your category rank will be better (lower) than your general rank.
JEE Main 2025 OBC-NCL cutoff for IIITs: The qualifying percentile is around 79.43.
Previous year closing ranks for IIITs (OBC-NCL):
For core branches like CSE, closing OBC-NCL ranks at top IIITs range from 7,000 to 15,000 .
For lower-demand IIITs or branches, closing ranks can go up to 25,000–30,000 .
With an expected AIR of 40,000–60,000 , your OBC-NCL rank may fall between 10,000 and 20,000 .
Highly competitive IIITs (like IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Delhi, IIIT Bangalore): Unlikely for CSE, as their OBC-NCL closing ranks are much lower .
Newer/less competitive IIITs and branches (like ECE, IT, or regional IIITs): You have a fair chance , especially in later JoSAA rounds, for branches other than CSE.
If your OBC-NCL rank is close to or below 15,000: You might get CSE in newer IIITs or non-core branches in established IIITs.
| Aspect | Estimate/Status |
|---|---|
| April 2025 Percentile | 95–96.5 (expected) |
| Expected AIR | 40,000–60,000 |
| Expected OBC-NCL Rank | 10,000–20,000 |
| IIIT CSE (top IIITs) | Unlikely |
| IIIT (other branches/newer IIITs) | Possible in later rounds |
Participate in JoSAA counseling and fill in as many IIIT choices as possible, including all branches and newer IIITs.
Consider state counseling if you have a state quota for other government colleges.
Keep backup options like NITs (lower branches), GFTIs, or state engineering colleges.
In summary:
With 130 marks and OBC-NCL category, you are above the cutoff and have a fair chance at IIITs, especially in non-CSE branches and newer IIITs. Top IIITs for CSE may not be possible, but keep all options open in JoSAA counseling for the best chance of securing a government seat.
With a JEE Main 2025 percentile of 90.66 , corresponding to an OBC-NCL rank of 45,888 and a CRL of 138,449 , you have a moderate chance of securing admission to certain NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs , especially under the Home State quota for Jharkhand .
Participate in JoSAA Counselling
Prioritize Home State Quota
Consider Lesser-Known Institutes
Be Open to Other Branches
For more detailed information, you can refer to the following article: JEE Main 2024 Cutoff for GFTIs: Qualifying Marks, Course-wise Opening & Closing Ranks.
Based on your OBC-NCL rank of 20,242 and CRL rank of 66,500 in JEE Main 2024, here is a branch-wise estimate of the NITs and IIITs you may get admission to in 2025 :
OBC-NCL category cutoff percentile for IIITs is around 83–92 for popular branches like CSE, ECE, IT.
Your rank (20,242 OBC-NCL) corresponds roughly to a percentile near 83–85 , which is competitive for mid-tier branches and some top NITs/IIITs but unlikely for top branches like CSE in premier institutes.
Your CRL rank (66,500) places you in a position to get non-CSE branches in many NITs and IIITs.
| Branch | Expected Closing Rank Range (OBC-NCL) | Likely NITs You Can Get |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science (CSE) | 1,000 – 10,000 (very competitive) | Unlikely at your rank |
| Electronics & Communication (ECE) | 5,000 – 20,000 | Possible in lower-tier NITs (e.g., NIT Silchar, NIT Kurukshetra) |
| Information Technology (IT) | 7,000 – 20,000 | Possible in mid-level NITs |
| Mechanical Engineering | 15,000 – 40,000 | Good chances in many NITs (NIT Agartala, NIT Jamshedpur, NIT Raipur) |
| Civil Engineering | 25,000 – 50,000 | Very good chances in most NITs |
| Electrical Engineering | 15,000 – 35,000 | Good chances in mid-tier NITs |
| Chemical Engineering | 30,000 – 60,000 | Good chances in many NITs |
| Metallurgical/Material Science | 30,000 – 60,000 | Possible in some NITs |
| Branch | Expected Closing Rank Range (OBC-NCL) | Likely IIITs You Can Get |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science (CSE) | 1,000 – 8,000 | Unlikely at your rank |
| Electronics & Communication (ECE) | 8,000 – 20,000 | Possible in some IIITs (IIIT Lucknow, IIIT Bhubaneswar) |
| Information Technology (IT) | 10,000 – 20,000 | Possible in mid-tier IIITs |
| Other Branches (ECE, EEE, Mechanical) | 20,000 – 50,000+ | Good chances in less popular IIITs |
| Institute Name | Branches Likely Available at Your Rank |

In brief:
Your OBC-NCL rank ~20,000 can get you ECE, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Chemical branches in many NITs and IIITs.
CSE and IT branches at top NITs/IIITs are tough to get at this rank.
Focus on mid-tier branches and institutes for admission.
If you want, I can provide a detailed college-wise and branch-wise list based on your rank.Take help from the above links and websites for futher details.
With an SC rank of 36,000, getting CSE in NITs, IIITs, or top GFTIs is highly unlikely. Most NITs close CSE admissions for SC candidates below 6,000 rank (e.g., NIT Agartala ~5,738). IIITs like IIIT Pune close around 3,704. GFTIs also have much lower closing ranks. Given these trends, admission to CSE is not feasible at these institutions. You may consider other engineering branches or private colleges where the cutoff aligns with your rank.

Hello,
Yes, you may be eligible for an IIT PhD after completing your online M.Tech from IIT Hyderabad. But still, your eligibility depends on factors like academic criteria and potentially a valid GATE/UGC/CSIR score. If you meet all of these criteria, you can surely get admission to IIT for a PhD degree.
I hope it will clear your query!!
With a JEE Main percentile of 94.3 , an Open rank of 85,451 , and an EWS rank of 12,127 , your chances for Electronics and Electrical Engineering (EEE) or related branches in IIITs and GFTIs are possible but limited to newer or less competitive institutes and branches.
General Category:
Most IIITs have closing ranks for core branches (like CSE, ECE, EEE) well below 85,000 for the Open category. The cutoff for General category in IIITs typically ranges from 10,000 to 100,000, but for EEE or similar branches, closing ranks in newer IIITs may sometimes go up to 1,00,000
EWS Category:
With an EWS rank of 12,127, your chances improve slightly, but top and mid-tier IIITs will still be out of reach. You may have a chance in newer IIITs or for less popular branches if seats remain after higher preferences are filled
GFTIs generally have higher closing ranks than IIITs, especially for non-core branches. With your rank, you may have a chance for EEE or related branches in some GFTIs, particularly those with lower demand or in remote locations
| Institute Type | Branch | General Closing Rank (Typical) | EWS Closing Rank (Typical) | Your Rank | Chance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IIIT (newer) | EEE/ECE/IT | 60,000–1,00,000+ | 10,000–20,000+ | 85,451/12,127 | Possible in some newer IIITs |
| GFTI | EEE/ECE/IT | 80,000–1,50,000+ | 15,000–30,000+ | 85,451/12,127 | Possible in some GFTIs |
Top IIITs and top branches are out of reach at your rank, but you may get EEE or similar branches in newer IIITs or GFTIs, especially in later rounds of JoSAA counselling.
Fill as many choices as possible during counselling to maximize your chances.
Cutoffs vary each year based on seat availability and applicant pool, so keep checking official JoSAA cutoffs after each round
Conclusion:
You have a fair chance for EEE or related branches in some newer IIITs and several GFTIs, especially under the EWS category, but not in top institutes. Participate actively in JoSAA counselling and consider all available options.
The IIIT Hyderabad PDM (Postgraduate Diploma in Machine Learning/AI/Data Science) interview is meant to check your understanding of basics, problem-solving ability, and clarity of thought. To prepare, you should focus on three main areas.
First, revise the important subjects. You need to be clear about programming basics, especially in Python. Revise data structures like arrays, lists, stacks, queues, and trees. Brush up on algorithms like searching, sorting, and recursion. Go through core mathematics that supports machine learning, such as linear algebra, probability, and calculus. Review statistics topics like mean, variance, distributions, and hypothesis testing.
Second, practice problem-solving. Go to coding platforms like LeetCode, HackerRank, or Codeforces and try solving medium-level problems. You do not need to solve very hard ones, but be comfortable with writing clean and logical code. For mathematics, practice solving small problems that involve probability, matrices, and statistics.
Third, prepare for machine learning basics. You should know what supervised and unsupervised learning are, what regression and classification mean, and how common algorithms like decision trees, k-means, and linear regression work at a basic level. They usually test whether you understand the concepts, not whether you have done big projects.
In the interview, they may also ask you to solve small logical puzzles or math questions to see how you think. Be clear in explaining your thought process step by step, even if you are not fully sure of the answer.
Also, prepare to talk about your motivation. They may ask why you want to join IIIT Hyderabad’s PDM program, what your career goals are, and if you have done any projects, internships, or coursework related to coding or data science.
