Can I get an NIT with a 95 percentile in JEE Mains?

Yes, you can get admission to several NITs with a 95 percentile in JEE Mains, especially in less competitive branches and NITs.

• A 95 percentile typically corresponds to a rank between 40,000 and 60,000.
• With this rank, you have a good chance of getting branches like Civil, Chemical, Metallurgy, or Mechanical in NITs that are less in demand or located in the North-East and newer NITs.
• Popular branches like Computer Science or Electronics in top NITs (e.g., NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal) usually require a higher percentile (98+).
• Home state quota and category reservation can significantly improve your chances.

A 95 percentile opens doors to many NITs, especially in less competitive branches or through home state quota.
