Dear aspirant,

As you have mentioned that you have secured 72 percentile in JEE mains and taking into consideration that you belong to general category so let me tell you that predicted rank according to my knowledge will be around 2.5-3L.

In this percentile you do not have any chances for good nits like Jamshedpur durgapur Silchar allahabad rourkela Calicut but if you belong to one of these home states like mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Agartala, sringar then you may stand some chances to get a seat in any of the nit as the home state cut off for these nits are very low.

Hi

I am assuming you from general category

Your profile suggest that your home state is chhattisgarh

With 72 percentile


I am  sorry to tell you but with this rank you have low chances in any NIT, even in lower ones.

For example,

Cosing rank for some of the nits for which closing rank goes low are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2020 under other state  for general category  :-

  • National Institute of Technology Sikkim, Civil Engineering :- 47412

  • National Institute of Technology, Mizoram, Civil Engineering:- 49757

  • National Institute of Technology Agartala, Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering :- 50,010

You can check the same at

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

From above, it is clear that you need at least a rank of around 45,000 - 50,000 to get into even lower NITs. And to get a rank in this range, you need at atleast around 95.5 - 96 percentile .

Some of the   engineering colleges in which you hold a chance are listed below along with their previous year cut off link :-

----------)Bengal College of Engineering and Technology, Durgapur :- https://dqxeclau.top/colleges/bengal-college-of-engineering-and-technology-durgapur/cut-off?college_id=4831&exam_sub_exam_id=2&ici=college_view_cutoffs
