Hello,

If you were unable to qualify JEE Advanced Examination, then you can try colleges accepting JEE Mains score or  the colleges providing admission on  the basis of 10+2 board result, or there are also Colleges those provide admission on the basis of their own entrance exams score.
If would be better if you can mention your JEE Mains rank, so that we can tell you the best colleges for you.
However, for your help here I'm listing some of the best colleges in India accepting JEE Mains -

1. SRM Institute of Science and Technology kattankulathur

2. Lovely professional University Phagwara

3. Delhi technological University New Delhi

4. Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi

5. Indian Institute of engineering science and technology Howrah

6. Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University College of Engineering Pune

7. Institute of chemical Technology Mumbai

8. Veermata jijabai technological Institute Mumbai

9. School of Engineering University of petroleum and energy Studies Dehradun

10. Surat Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology Surat

Hello!

If you are not selected in jee advanced and your attempts to give jee advance is finish then go for nit or iiit colleges if your jee mains percentile is good. If you don't want to give exam again and your percentile is not so good and want to take admission in college then go for state college counseling.

Now you have 2 options . The first is that you have qualified JEE Mains or 2nd  is that you have not qualified JEE Mains.

  • If you have qualified JEE Mains and your percentile is greater than 98 then you must take part in JOSAA counselling.You will get some NIT or IIIT. But if you have less percentile i.e. around 88-98 then you can try state level counsellings in states like Haryana, Punjab ,MP, Odisha etc.You will get branches like CSE, ECE, EE in some good Govt college .
  • The second option is that either you have not qualified JEE Mains or you have very-very less percentile in JEE Mains. Then the best option for you is to try private engineering colleges like BITS Pilani ,SRM University ,Manipal University etc.

Further you can use our JEE Mains college predictor tool to predict colleges for you based on your JEE Mains score. Below is the link for that.
