I got 21000 rank in JEE Mains general category. Should I drop for next time or go ahead by taking any NIT or BIT, Mesra?

Yes, students may get a seat in NIT Puducherry BTech with 92 percentile in JEE Main through JoSAA counselling. The cutoff is high for specialisations, such as CSE. With NITPY being one of the top institutes and part of the NIT Tag, the cutoff is always high. But 92 percentile can be enough for later

DIT University BTech admissions are not possible without the JEE Main scores. DIT Institute Dehradun admission to courses other than the BTech is based on merit & entrance test scores. The accepted entrance exams are MAT, XAT,  CAT, CMAT,  UKSEE, etc.

Yes, NTA reopened the JEE Main 2026 session 2 registration window from March 12 to 13.

Yes, the JEE Main 2026 January question papers have been released. The official papers were made available with the response sheet of the candidates under their respective logins on the official website - jeemain.nta.nic.in.

If a question is dropped in the JEE Main exam, then the candidates of the shift from which the question is dropped will get bonus marks. It does not matter if you attempted the question or not. If a question from your shift is dropped then you will be eligible for +4 bonus marks.
