Engineering Entrance Exam

Having secured a percentile of 96.55 in the JEE Main Session - 1, 2024, your chances are likely to get admission to a few of the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) for programs of Computer Science. Normally, a rank between 3,700 to 10,000 would have seen an individual being competitive in admissions to B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering in those institutions. The cut-off for general category top NITs is generally around 93.23 percentile; your score therefore is more than it. Yet the admission is also dependent upon the particular NIT along with its branch of choice and how other candidates perform while following the process of counselling. In this case, it would be wise to attend the JoSAA counselling and monitor all cut-offs coming out from the rounds so that a perfect judgment about your selection would be made. 

Yes, you will be qualified to register for JoSAA counselling with a 60% score in Class 12 for the colleges that don't have a 75% cut-off criterion. Though a minimum of 75% in Class 12 marks for general category candidates is stipulated by IITs and NITs and by 65% for candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBC and physically challenged categories, there would be eligibility criteria different from that for each of the colleges. If the institutions you are targeting do not adhere to this cutoff, you may participate in JoSAA counselling provided you have qualified in JEE Main or JEE Advanced and satisfy specific criteria set by those institutions. 

Eligibility would depend on merit requirements that demand a minimum of 50% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) scores from the respective 12th-grade result. Choose the colleges in the same regions of Delhi/NCR by finding available colleges that conduct direct admissions with some under the categories of Management quota or Vacant Seats. Contact these colleges directly or on their websites for their particular procedures of admission, which is usually submitting an application form and other supporting documents. Under the management quota, the fee will be higher. Following your application, keep in contact with the admissions office regarding updates on the status of your application.
