Hello,

The NTA provides a correction window before the April attempt, where you may be able to change your category.

• Previous Attempt Issue : If your category change was not updated in the January attempt, it is advisable to contact NTA immediately for clarification.
• Final Approval : The change from General to OBC-NCL depends on NTA’s verification and acceptance of your category certificate.
• Steps to Take : Keep your OBC-NCL certificate ready and check the official notification for correction window details.
• Confirmation : NTA has the final authority to approve or reject category changes.

Hello Sarvesh,

With 60 percentile in JEE Mains 2025 under the General category , getting admission into top NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs is not possible, as the cutoff for General candidates is usually much higher.

Alternative Options:

1. Private Engineering Colleges – Many private institutes accept JEE Mains scores or conduct their own entrance exams.
   
   
2. State Engineering Colleges – Some state-level colleges have lower cutoffs, and you may get admission based on state quota .
   
   
3. Direct Admission – Some private universities offer management quota seats without a high JEE rank.
   
   
   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.

Hello Riya,

If your OBC certificate is not being issued in your village and you have to submit the registration form , you have the following options:

Possible Solutions:

1. Apply from Another Office: Try getting your certificate from the district headquarters or a nearby town where they are issuing OBC certificates.
   
   
2. Use an Old Certificate: If you or your family have an old OBC certificate , check if it can be renewed or used as proof.
   
   
3. Get a Temporary Affidavit: Some institutions allow submission of an affidavit stating that your OBC certificate is under process.
   
   
4. Contact Authorities: Speak to the college/university admission office and explain your situation. They may provide an extension or allow you to submit the certificate later.
   
   
5. Proceed with General Category: If you have no other option, you may apply under the General category for now. If the institution allows updates later, you can try submitting the OBC certificate when available.

It’s best to urgently contact local authorities and request assistance in getting your OBC certificate issued.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

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

Hello Tanishk,

With a 77 percentile in JEE Mains as a General category, non-home state candidate, securing admission in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) or Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) at National Institutes of Technology (NITs) or Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) is challenging. However, you might consider the following government engineering colleges :-

• College of Engineering and Management, Kolaghat (West Bengal): Offers ECE and Electrical Engineering programs.
• Darbhanga College of Engineering (Bihar): Provides Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
• Jawaharlal Nehru Government Engineering College (Himachal Pradesh): Offers ECE programs.
• Shershah Engineering College (Bihar): Provides Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
• Supaul College of Engineering (Bihar): Offers ECE and Electrical Engineering programs.
• Motihari College of Engineering (Bihar): Provides Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

Wishing you the best !

Hello Aspirant

With 77 percentile (General, Non-Home State) in JEE Mains , getting ECE in NITs or IIITs is very difficult as the cutoffs for these institutes are usually much higher (above 90 percentile for General).

Chances in NITs & IIITs:

1. NITs – Unlikely, even in lower NITs.
2. Top/Old IIITs – No chance for ECE.
3. Newer IIITs (Low Chances) – You may try in IIIT Agartala, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Bhopal, or IIIT Ranchi in later rounds or CSAB Special Rounds .

Better Alternatives:

• GFTIs (Government-Funded Technical Institutes) – Some may have ECE seats available.
  
  
• State Government Colleges – Check your state's JEE-based counseling.
  
  
• Private Colleges – Institutes like LNMIIT, Shiv Nadar, UPES, SRM, and MIT Pune offer ECE with JEE scores.

If ECE is your priority, re-attempting JEE in April for a higher percentile is a good option.

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.
