Achieving a 90 percentile in JEE Main is no small achievement and those who qualify will be eligible for admission into numerous engineering colleges in India. Though higher-ranked IITs and NITs might look for higher percentiles, many other prestigious institutes with modern facilities and good placement records accept students with at least a 90 percentile score. This list of JEE Main accepting colleges includes some National Institutes of Technology (NITs) for home state category students, Government funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs), and leading private universities like Amity University, Shiv Nadar University, and Lovely Professional University.

A large number of state engineering colleges also open up a quota for out-of-state students who achieve the 90 percentile which makes them eligible to apply under state quota systems. The academic environment alongside the diverse engineering programs, research opportunities, and internships these institutions offer is excellent. Deciding which college to enroll into at this score tends to be a mix of branch preference, category, location, and seat availability. If students set their mind towards it, those within the 90 percentile range can lay down the groundwork for a successful engineering career.

Understand JEE Main Marks Vs Percentile

The authorities use a normalization process to distribute marks to applicants to ensure fair conduct of the evaluation process. The JEE main normalization process eliminates every possible unfair practice to distribute scores as the exam is held in several shifts and the JEE main question paper varies in each shift. The JEE Main marks vs percentile criteria available below.
