Dear aspirant !!

Hope you are doing well !

With a 70.7 percentile in JEE Mains and being from the general category (Punjab) as the only girl child, your chances of getting into NIT Jalandhar or NIT Hamirpur will depend on various factors such as:

1. Category-wise Cutoff : The closing rank for general category candidates at these NITs can vary each year based on several factors such as the number of candidates, difficulty level of the exam, and seat availability. The percentile you have is relatively on the lower side, so the opening and closing ranks of the previous years will give you an idea of whether it's possible.

2. Gender-based Relaxation : Some NITs provide slight relaxation in cutoff for female candidates, which might increase your chances slightly.

3. Home State Quota : Being from Punjab, you would fall under the home state quota for NIT Jalandhar. Home state quota typically has a lower cutoff compared to the All India quota, so this could work in your favour

• NIT Jalandhar : Based on the last few years' trends, the closing rank for general category female candidates from Punjab has been higher than your percentile. However, being a female candidate could give you some advantage.
• NIT Hamirpur : Similar trends apply, though the cutoffs here might be slightly different. You may have a better chance in the home state quota.

You should check the opening and closing ranks for the past few years on the official JOSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) website or other platforms that publish detailed information about the cutoff trends. It's also advisable to stay updated on the counseling process to understand if there is any possibility of getting a seat through other categories like the home state quota or female quota.

Hello,

The qualifying percentile for general category candidates is typically around 93.23. So securing admission to NIT Jalandhar or NIT Hamirpur is highly unlikely mate.
