Hello,

Based on your 82.6 percentile in JEE Mains and your HOGC (Haryana Open General Category) status, you may have chances to get admission in some of the good universities in Haryana, although it may be challenging to secure a seat in the top-tier institutions like NIT Kurukshetra for highly competitive branches.

Here are a few universities in Haryana you can consider:

1. NIT Kurukshetra :

   • Admission here is competitive, and while 82.6 percentile may be on the lower side for highly sought-after branches like Computer Science, you might have a chance in other branches depending on the cutoffs for the year.

2. Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology (DCRUST), Murthal :

3. YMCA University of Science and Technology, Faridabad :

   • Known for its good placements and academic programs, YMCAUST could be a good option.

4. University Institute of Engineering and Technology (UIET), Kurukshetra University :

   • UIET is another reputable institute where you might have a good chance of getting admission.

5. The NorthCap University (NCU), Gurgaon :

To increase your chances:

• Participate in Counseling : Make sure to participate in the state counseling sessions for Haryana, as state quota seats might increase your chances of getting into a good university.
• Explore Management Quota : Some private universities might offer admission through management quota if you do not secure a seat through regular counseling.
• Consider Other Branches : If you are open to considering branches other than Computer Science, your chances of getting into a good university might increase.

Be sure to check the specific cutoffs and admission requirements for each university as they can vary year to year.

Hope it helps !
