Hey Aspirant,

Firstly I would like to tell you that yes you can get admission through merit basis. But only in the colleges where you meet the eligibility criteria.

Also you will not get admission in all the colleges.  You will be able to apply only in those colleges that are willing to give admissions through merit basis. Most of them are private colleges. You won't be getting any NITs,  IIITs or any other GFTI, which accepts only JEE scores.

I hope this helps!
