Hello there,

No, you cannot change your category from General to OBC for the second JEE Mains attempt. NTA allows category changes only during the correction window of the first attempt. Since you already submitted the first form as General, your category will remain the same for both attempts. However, you can use your OBC certificate during JoSAA counseling for reservation benefits.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello Raghav,

Yes, you can change your category from General to General-EWS in JEE Mains Session 2 while filling out the form, provided you have a valid EWS certificate issued before the deadline specified by NTA. Make sure to upload the correct document during registration.

Hello Riya,

With 85 percentile in JEE Mains and EWS category, your expected rank would be around 1.5–1.8 lakh. Admission to SVNIT Surat (NIT Surat) is difficult for core branches like CSE, ECE, EE, and ME, even under the home state quota. However, you may have a slight chance for lower branches like Civil or Chemical Engineering in later rounds.

Check JoSAA counseling cutoffs for exact details and keep backup options in other GFTIs or state engineering colleges.

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

Hope this gives you the clarity you need.

Hello

Your 77.78 percentile in JEE Mains as a PwD (Persons with Disabilities) candidate gives you a significant advantage due to the lower cutoff for the PwD category.

To determine if you can get an NIT, consider the following :

1. PwD Category Cutoff :

The cutoff for PwD candidates is much lower than the general category.

In previous years , candidates with even below 50 percentile have secured NIT seats under the PwD category.

2. CRL-PwD Rank Estimation :

If 12 lakh students appeared , your CRL Rank would be around 2,66,000 (approx).

The PwD rank depends on the number of PwD candidates, which is much lower, improving your chances.

3. Choice of NIT and Branch :

Top NITs (like NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, NIT Surathkal) may be difficult.

Lower-ranked NITs or branches like Metallurgy, Biotechnology, Civil or lesser-demanded ones may be possible.

Hope this gives you the clarity you need.

Hello

With a 78.9995 percentile score in JEE Main and belonging to the OBC-NCL category has a chance of getting admission into an NIT.

Admission Chances for NITs:

1. Rank Estimation :

A 78.99 percentile in JEE Main corresponds to a Common Rank List (CRL) rank of around 2,00,000 to 2,50,000 (approximate).

For the OBC-NCL category , the category rank would be around 60,000 to 70,000.

2. NIT Cutoff Analysis :

The minimum OBC-NCL cutoff for NITs is usually around 85-90 percentile.

With a 78.99 percentile, it is very difficult to get a seat in NITs , even in lower branches.

However , some low-demand branches (like Biotechnology, Production Engineering etc.) in newer NITs might be possible in spot rounds or home-state quotas.

Hope this gives you the clarity you need.
