Can I get admission to any college in India with a 70 percentile in JEE Mains? Is SRM a good college?

A 70 percentile in JEE Mains means you scored better than 70% of the test takers. While this might not be sufficient for admission to top-tier institutions like NITs or IIITs, it's possible to get into some good private colleges or state-level engineering colleges. SRM is a private university with a wide range of programs, but its reputation is mixed. Some find it a good option, especially for Computer Science, while others consider it lower-tier.JEE Main 70 Percentile and College Options:

- Good private colleges:Many reputable private engineering colleges accept scores around the 70 percentile. You can explore options like:
- SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRM IST) (though it has mixed reviews, it might be a viable option for certain programs like CSE).
- VIT (Vellore Institute of Technology).
- Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham.
- Other private institutions that conduct their own entrance exams or accept JEE Main scores.
- SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRM IST) (though it has mixed reviews, it might be a viable option for certain programs like CSE).
- State-level engineering colleges:You can also explore state-level engineering colleges in states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar, which might offer admissions based on your JEE Main score and other criteria (like Class 12 results).
SRM University:- Reputation:SRM has a mixed reputation. Some find it a good option, especially for Computer Science, while others consider it comparable to lower-tier institutions.
- Mixed Reviews:Some students report positive experiences with SRM's infrastructure, faculty, and placement opportunities, particularly for Computer Science-related programs. However, others criticize the high fees, large class sizes, and focus on revenue generation.
- Considerations:If you are considering SRM, research specific programs and campuses, and try to get insights from current students or alumni.
Recommendations:- 1. Research specific colleges:Explore the websites of different colleges, look into their cutoff trends for your preferred branches, and see if your percentile falls within their acceptable range.
- 2. Consider state-level counseling:If you are eligible, participate in the state-level counseling processes for admissions to state government colleges.
- 3. Explore other entrance exams:Consider other engineering entrance exams that might offer better opportunities based on your profile.
