Hello Shivam,
With
64 percentile in JEE Mains (OBC category)
, getting a seat in
NITs, IIITs, or top GFTIs
is difficult, but you still have options:
Possible Colleges:
1. State Government Colleges
– Some states offer seats through
state counseling
(like MP, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, etc.).
2. Private Engineering Colleges
– Many private universities accept JEE scores (like
Amity, LPU, UPES, SRM, VIT
, etc.).
3. CSAB Special Rounds
– If seats remain vacant in
lower NITs/GFTIs
, you might get a branch with a lower cutoff.
4. Diploma to B.Tech (Lateral Entry)
– Some states allow diploma holders to enter B.Tech directly in 2nd year.
Next Steps:
- Check state-level counseling where your JEE score might be valid.
- Look for private colleges that accept JEE percentile for admission.
- Improve in the April attempt if you want better options.
If you're open to private colleges or state universities, you can still get admission.
