Hello,

If we use our JEE Main rank predictor tool, the predicted overall rank is 51559 - 57960. The link to the rank predictor tool is:

It is essential to know the category of the candidate because the cut off is different for each category. As you have not mentioned your category we assume that you belong to general category. Analyzing the previous year cut off you may not get seat in NITs or IIITs. You need to have 98-99 percentile in case if you belong to general category. But you may qualify in JEE Main considering the previous year qualifying cut off percentile which was 90.3765335 percentile for general category. And the following is the cut off for JEE Main 2020 category wise

  • OBC-NCL:72.8887969
  • EWS:70.2435518
  • SC:50.1760245
  • ST:39.0696101
  • PWD:0.0618524

Factors such as total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of the paper, total number of seats available determine the cut off so it is subjected to change. If you are aiming to get seat in IIT you can start your preparation for JEE Advanced.

You might have chances to get seat in private colleges like

  • K J Somaiya Institute of Engineering and Information Technology, Sion, Mumba: Artificial Intelligence and Date Science
  • All India Shri Shivaji Memorial Society's College of Engineering, Pune: Computer Engineering
  • Vidarbha Bahu-Uddeshiya Shikshan Sanstha's Tulshiramji Gaikwad Patil College of Engineering & Technology, Nagpur: ECE

This is based on previous year cut off.

Hi,

According to your percentile you expected rank will be around 51559 - 57960. Now, since you haven't mentioned your category and assuming that you belong to general category, you do not have strong chances of getting into NITs or IIITs.

For IITs you will have to appear for JEE advanced and you are eligible only if you score more than the qualifying cut off for JEE mains. According to the previous year cut offs for JEE mains, you can clear JEE mains.

You can refer to the rank predictor for more details: https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-rank-predictor?utm_source=google-search&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=jeemain-rp&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-OS0-PXZ7wIVyhErCh3RkwixEAAYAiAAEgImDPD_BwE

Also, you can refer to the JoSAA counselling results: https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

I hope this helped you.
