With a 79.57 percentile in JEE Mains 2025 under the SC category, your chances of getting into a top NIT or IIIT are relatively low. Typically, you'd need a percentile score of at least 90-92 to have decent chances of getting into an NIT or IIIT.
However, there are some NITs and IIITs that may consider your score. Here are a few examples:
- NIT Mizoram: Civil Engineering (closing rank around 8376 in the SC category)
- NIT Nagaland: Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering (closing rank around 8641 in the SC category)
- NIT Agartala*l: Production Engineering (closing rank around 9207 in the SC category)
Keep in mind that these cutoffs are based on previous years' data and may vary for the 2025 session.To get a better idea of your chances, I recommend using a JEE Main college predictor tool.
