Thanks for sharing your details. Let's break it down:
Your Details:
-
Category : SC (Scheduled Caste)
-
Gender : Girl
-
JEE Main 2025 Rank : 11,69,926
Eligibility for NITs:
To get admission into NITs through JoSAA , you must:
-
Have qualified JEE Main .
-
Secure a rank within the closing cutoff for SC category (female quota helps too in some NITs).
Does Your Rank Qualify?
Unfortunately, a
rank of ~11.7 lakh is too high
for getting a seat in NITs, even under the SC and female quotas.
Typically,
SC category closing ranks
for NITs go up to:
-
Around 2.5 to 3 lakh (SC rank) for less preferred branches and NITs.
What You Can Do:
1. State Engineering Colleges
You can get admission in state government colleges through state-level counseling using your 12th marks or JEE rank with SC reservation.
2. Private Colleges
Many private colleges offer direct admission with low JEE ranks. Examples:
-
Chandigarh University
-
Galgotias University
-
Amity, LPU, etc.
3. Try through CSAB Special Round
If you're technically JEE Main qualified , you can try CSAB special rounds , where leftover seats are filled—even with lower ranks.
Alternative Option
If you're determined to get into a good government college, consider taking a drop year and preparing again for JEE 2026 with coaching and strategy. SC category has strong reservation advantage , and even 80–85 percentile can help get into NITs with the right strategy.
