Hi


Yes, with 54.17 percentile being from SC category you do have chances to qualify JEE main and be eligible for JEE advanced

For reference,

JEE mains 2021 expected qualifying  CUT OFF percentile to be eligible for JEE advanced is given below for different categories on the basis of past year trends :

.                  .  JEE      MAIN CUT   OFF    PERCENTILE

Come to your chances of getting NIT

With 54.17 percentile

  • Your rank will be around 468841 - 527045   as pet our rank Predictor at

Your sc rank will be around 38,000.

With this rank you have very low chance  in any NIT

For example,

Your profile suggest that you are from Maharashtra so you will be eligible for home state quota in NIT Nagpur


In 6th round of josaa counselling 2020, the closing rank for SC category in NIT Nagpur was 6779 sc rank and it was for mining engineering

So, I would suggest you focus on your preparation for remaining sessions of jee main so that you can improve your score   ,  go through chapters , practise questions and then revise them, go through mock test paper sample papers and previous year question papers as it will let you know your preparation level and and weak areas so that you can work on them and perform well in your examination.To help you in your application you can use our jee main knockout for which link is provided below

With a Percentile of 54.17, being from SC Category you have fair chances in qualifying JEE Main and appearing for JEE Advanced. But, I dont believe with this Score/Rank you will secure any branch in any of the NIT or IIITs. Being from SC, you need to target anywhere around 80 Percentile atleast to have fair chances in securing a seat at some of the NITs.
