Hello there,
With a 24 percentile in JEE Mains , and considering your 12th score of 76% and 10th score of 82% , it may be challenging to secure a seat in top-tier colleges for B.Tech in IT or ECE . However, you can still explore lower-tier government and private colleges with affordable fees . Here are a few options to consider: Government Colleges:
State Government Colleges (State Quota)
Engineering Colleges in UP, MP, Odisha, Rajasthan
Govt. Engineering Colleges in Bihar (like BCE Patna, MIT Muzaffarpur)
Govt. Engineering Colleges in Tamil Nadu (if applying through the state quota)
Lower Tier NITs or IIITs
NIT Manipur
NIT Mizoram
NIT Nagaland Private Colleges:
Shiv Nadar University (Greater Noida)
KIIT University (Bhubaneswar)
UPES (Dehradun)
SRM University (Chennai)
Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University (Katra)
Amity University (Noida)
VIT Bhopal
Graphic Era University (Dehradun)
These colleges offer good infrastructure and affordable fees. Private colleges might have moderate fees but offer scholarship programs that can reduce the cost.
I would recommend you to use the JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank/percentile.
