If you are targeting B.Tech in Biotechnology at SASTRA University, Thanjavur, a JEE Main All India Rank of 9,000 to 13,000 (General category) would typically be safe based on past trends and anticipated cutoffs.

Quick Details:

So, if your JEE Main ranking is close to 9,000 to 13,000, you have a highly likely chance of securing a seat in Biotech in SASTRA. Ensure your 12th board marks are also good as they're taken into account as well.

You can have a college of this standard, but the best NITs and core branches such as CSE or ECE might not be available in the open category. But the newer NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs with less competitive streams such as civil, metallurgy, or production provide opportunities, particularly in spot or special rounds.

Attempt home state counseling with better cutoffs. State and private engineering colleges consider this rank. Complete a few options in JoSAA and remain flexible. You can get into a good college but may not get the top branch.

You are not eligible to enroll at MNIT Jaipur under the general All India quota in B.Tech because of your JEE Main rank of 281,441. For this reason, depending on the branch, the lowest rank in the General category (AI quota) at MNIT Jaipur in 2025 was approximately 38,000. Metallurgy and civil engineering, two even less competitive fields, close below 80,000–90,000. Your rank is far beyond this range.

Here is what can you do:

– Search other NITs or GFTIs: Lower cutoffs will be there in New NITs or Government Funded Technical Institutes. If you belong to SC/ST/OBC/EWS, there is hope.

 – State-Level Colleges: Apply to state engineering colleges or private universities with higher cutoffs that take JEE Main scores. Examples: RTU, LNCT, VIT, etc.

 – Management Quota / Direct Admission Private colleges permit students to accept admissions on the basis of their 12th-grade marks or low JEE ranks.

 – Take a Gap Year If you wish to enter NITs or top colleges, take a gap to prepare for JEE Main 2026.

Since EWS rank 26,066 is quite low, getting admission to top NITs or popular branches like CSE, ECE, or IT is difficult since these usually close below 10,000 EWS rank.

Don't lose hope, though! You can still get options in some of the newer NITs or less popular branches, particularly during the last rounds of JoSAA counselling.

Possible Options You Can Explore:

Note: These are tentative and depend on this year’s cutoff trends. Check detailed cutoffs at NIT Cutoff – ?collegedunia

What you should do is fill as many options in JoSAA (all NITs + all branches) as possible, do not leave any counselling round, and keep backup options free like IIITs, GFTIs, or state colleges based on JEE Main score

The round 1 JEE Main 2025 closing ranks (General category, All India Quota) for B.Tech programs at IIIT Bhubaneswar are:

Note: Cutoffs may relax in later rounds.

To get admission in popular branches such as CSE at IIIT Bhubaneswar, an AIR of ~33,000 or higher in JEE Main is the best suited for General category students under the AI quota. Reserved category candidates can get away with much higher ranks.

No, with 121 in JEE Main, you will not be eligible for IIT Madras admission because IITs accept JEE Advanced scores and not JEE Main. If your 121 is JEE Main, check if you are among the first 2.5 lakh students who can appear for JEE Advanced. Only candidates with a good rank in JEE Advanced can get through in IIT Madras.
