Hello Aspirant,

Hope this has answered your question.
Answer laterI got 91.8 percentile in JEE PAPER 2, my CRL Rank is 12207 and 612 SC category Rank which B.ARCH college I will get.
As per previous year's cutoff and your JEE Main paper 2 rank in SC category you'll be eligible for some top colleges. I'll recommend you to definitely apply for your home state NIT because you'll have a higher chance of getting admission there since the cutoff is lower for home states.
For more further details about the cutoff for B.Arch please refer to the link below :-

I got 1268 rank in jee main paper 2. I am an sc candidate .will I be able to get seat in spa college Vijayawada
Hello there,
As per the rank shared by you, it seems very difficult for you to get into SPA Vijayawada for an B.Arch degree(If and only if it is in SC Merit List)
,The Usual trend of cutoff for this college is around 520-560(In SC Merit list).
However, if the rank provided by you is CRL,then its obvious that you will surely get a chance to take admission into the SPA Vijaywada in round 2 or 3.(as per previous trends).
Take a look into SPA vijaywada using the link provided below,

how much percentile is required in jee main paper 2 to get seat in spa college Vijayawada
Hello,
The cut off percentile cannot be predicted now because cut off changes every year. So we give you the previous year cut off ranks for School of Planning and Architecture, Vijayawada category-wise
- General: 2157
- EWS: 453
- OBC-NCL: 1227
- SC: 581
- ST: 245
Percentile vs rank will not be the same always so you need to score minimum 98 percentile if you belong to general category and 90-95 percentile or above if you belong to reserved category. Cut off is subjected to change, it may increase or decrease depending on number of candidates appeared, number of seats available and difficulty of exam.
I got 92.36 percentile in jee mains paper 2. I am an sc candidate. I want to know whether I am eligible to get seat in spa college vijayawada
It's difficult to tell you exactly about your admission possibilities but as per the previous year cutoff for OBC category you can get admission in the college as you have scored good marks.
