JEE

With a 66.83 percentile in JEE Mains and belonging to the ST category, you have a fair chance of securing a seat in some NITs or IIITs, particularly in less competitive branches or newer institutions. However, admission also depends on factors like the specific branch you prefer, state quota (home state or other state), and the cutoffs of individual institutes. Likely Options:1. NITs:- The newer and less competitive NITs like NIT Sikkim, NIT Mizoram, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Nagaland, or NIT Arunachal Pradesh might have a lower cut-off for ST candidates.   State quota can hugely increase your chances in your home state NIT.2. IIITs:  IIITs like IIIT Una, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Dharwad, or IIIT Ranchi might be feasible for some branches. Suggestions: - Participate in *JoSAA counseling* and fill in as many choices as possible to increase your chances.- Look for CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) special rounds in case the seats remain vacant after JoSAA.Maintain flexibility on branches and colleges for a seat.

Among UPTAC affiliated colleges in which admission is given purely based on JEE Main, are various government, private, and self-financing institutions affiliated to Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU). Here is a list in general of the categories of college.1. gov. Engineering Colleges:    - Harcourt Butler Technical University (HBTU), Kanpur    - Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), Lucknow- Kamla Nehru Institute of Technology (KNIT), Sultanpur2. Private Engineering Colleges:   - Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad   - JSS Academy of Technical Education, Noida   - KIET Group of Institutions, Ghaziabad   - Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology, Greater Noida3. Self-Financed Institutions:   - ABES Engineering College, Ghaziabad- GL Bajaj Institute of Technology and Management, Greater Noida   - Krishna Institute of Engineering and Technology, Ghaziabad 

If you have made the decision of studying chemical engineering then ICT Mumbai would be the best option you could have. ICT  have an edge due to its specialised focus.ICT mumbai is way better than NIT Trichy for chemical engineering on most of the parameters if you are truly interested in chemical engineering . ICT has way better exposure and research than NIT Trichy .Professors will mostly be better at ICT mumbai. NIT Trichy is better for CSE IT related branches .Remember that ICT is an institution which specializes in chemical engineering and technology as it's name suggests .Go for it only if you are whole heartedly interested in chemical engineering .Do take an informed decision.

There is no direct admission to the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Patna without the required national-level entrance exam scores:  B. Tech: Admission is based on JEE Main scores. To be eligible, you must have passed 12th grade with Physics and Mathematics as required subjects, and Chemistry/Biology/Biotechnology as an optional subject. You must also have at least 75% aggregate.  B. Arch: Admission is based on NATA exam scores.  M. Tech and MURP: Admission is based on GATE exam scores. Candidates from outside India can apply for these courses through Direct Admission of Students from Abroad (DASA). 

You might find it tough getting admission into the B. Tech IT program at Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering with an 89 percentile in the JEE since an expected cutoff for IT can be generally around 96 percentile or more for general category students.Since you are applying under the Gujarati quota, which reserves 51% of the seats for Gujarati linguistic minority candidates, your chances might improve. The cutoff tends to be lower for Gujarati candidates, but the competition is not that weak. It would be advisable to look into the trends of the specific cutoffs for the current admission cycle and participate in the Maharashtra CAP counseling process for better insights.

Based on his 83 percentile in JEE Mains and a 59% in his PUC (Pre-University Course), it would look difficult to get admission in any top NITs or IIITs because they generally have very high cut-offs for admission. Considering this percentile and also if he is under the General category, there is still a chance to get into some new NITs or IIITs or to get to branches that have a little lesser preference.Here are few options: Newer NITs like NIT Goa, NIT Nagaland, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Puducherry would have lower cutoffs.IIITs like IIIT Sri City, IIIT Kalyani, or IIIT Dharwad could offer opportunities depending on the branch.Consider less competitive branches such as Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Biotechnology at these institutes.Moreover, reservation based on categories (OBC, SC, ST, etc.) would certainly enhance the chances. So, you always stay updated with the cycle of JoSAA counselling regarding cutoff trends.
