Hi,

The home state cutoff rank last year for Chemical Engineering at NIT, Trichy was 17104 and that for other state was 10589. A 97 percentile in JEE Main would mean a rank of around 26,000 which means it would be difficult for you to get this, but still keep your fingers crossed.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
