A 66 percentile may not meet the cutoff for top-tier institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) or National Institutes of Technology (NITs) but achieving a 66 percentile in the JEE Main exam places you in a position to consider several reputable engineering colleges across India. Here are some institutions that accept students within this percentile range:Vellore Institute of Technology, university in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India.Lovely Professional University, university in Chaheru, Phagwara, Punjab, India.Amity University has multiple campuses, you can search web for more information.Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), Bhubaneswar, Odisha. 

Hi!To qualify for the Lovely Professional University National Entrance and Scholarship Test (LPUNEST), you must have passed your 10+2 or equivalent exam with at least 60% aggregate marks.The subjects you need to pass with 60% marks are Physics, Mathematics, and English. If you don't pass the LPUNEST, you might not be eligible for some programs and scholarships. However, you might be able to get admission through alternative options based on your academic performance.  The LPUNEST is a national entrance exam that assesses your academic potential and awards scholarships up to Rs. 9.52 lacs. You can choose to take the exam online or at a test center.The expected LPU cutoff for LPUNEST 2024 have been released. For B.Tech, the cutoff marks range from 150 to 300 out of 400. For Integrated Law, the cutoff ranges from 90 to 150 out of 200.If you don't clear LPUNEST,  you may not be eligible for some programs and scholarships. However, there may be alternative admission options based on academic performance in certain cases. 

For admission to IITs through GATE in the General-EWS category, the required score varies depending on the branch and competition. However, here's a general guideline:Required GATE Scores for IITs:Core Engineering Branches (CSE, ECE, Mechanical, Civil):Top IITs (e.g., IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi): 700+ GATE score.Mid-tier IITs (e.g., IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee): 600-700 GATE score.Newer IITs: 500-600 GATE score.Interdisciplinary Programs (e.g., Data Science, Energy Studies):Scores between 450-600 may suffice, especially for newer or less competitive programs.Factors Affecting Cutoff:The difficulty level of the exam.Number of applicants in your stream.Availability of EWS category seats.To improve your chances, aim for a rank under 500 or score above 600 for most branches.

With a WBJEE rank of 80875, your chances of getting admission to core branches in top-tier colleges may be slim, but you might still secure a seat in less competitive branches or private colleges like SVU Kolkata (Sister Nivedita University).Possibility at SVU Kolkata:Courses Offered: SVU Kolkata offers a variety of courses in engineering, management, and Science disciplines. With your rank, you may get branches like Civil, Mechanical, IT, or Biotechnology in engineering.Fee Structure: Private colleges like SVU may also have a management quota if you don't meet the cutoff through WBJEE counseling.Eligibility: Ensure you meet the basic eligibility of 50% in PCM in Class 12.Participate actively in WBJEE counseling rounds, and if required, explore institute-level or management seats for better options.

Here are some possibilities:State Government Engineering Colleges: Many states have engineering colleges that accept JEE Main ranks. For instance, you may explore colleges under state-level counseling in states like Rajasthan, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, or Uttar Pradesh.Home State Quota in NITs: If your home state has an NIT and your category benefits you, you might get admission to branches with lower demand, such as Civil, Mining, or Environmental Engineering.GFTIs (Government-Funded Technical Institutes): Some GFTIs have relatively lower cutoffs, so you could explore options like Assam University, BIT Mesra (off-campus), or other institutes under this category. 

With a score of 75 in JEE Mains, getting admission to an NIT might be challenging, especially for popular branches like Computer Science or Electronics. However, your chances depend on various factors, including:Category: If you belong to a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC/EWS), your chances improve significantly as the cutoffs are lower compared to the general category.Home State Quota: NITs reserve a certain percentage of seats for candidates from the home state.
