Hello,

Hope you are doing great.

Answering to your question,

Scoring at the 85th percentile in exams like JEE Main typically might not secure admission to Computer Science Engineering (CSE) programs at top NITs (National Institutes of Technology) or IIITs (Indian Institutes of Information Technology). These institutions usually have higher cutoffs for CSE, often requiring scores closer to the 98th percentile or above. However, your percentile might still make you eligible for other engineering branches or some lower-ranked NITs and IIITs. It's essential to research specific cutoffs for the colleges you're interested in and consider alternate options or counseling rounds for admissions.

Hii There,

The probability of securing a seat for the core B.Tech branches in the NITs and IIITs is low with an 85 percentile in JEE Mains, as the top engineering institutes typically require 90+ percentile. However, you may have a chance of getting admission to other branches in less popular institutes, as well as in other private and government engineering colleges.

Also the chances depends upon the category to which the candidate belongs. Also, Based on your percentile score of 85, you may be eligible for admission to some of the mid-tier engineering colleges in Bangalore

Hope this helps you...!!

Hello aspirant,

I regret to inform you that you won't be able to secure admission in NIT/IIIT. With an 85 percentile in JEE Mains, you haven't met the qualification criteria for JEE Mains since you belong to the general category, and the qualifying cutoff percentile for general category students is above 90 percentile.

Thank you

Hope this information helps you.
