I got 78 percentile in JEE Main and I want CS. What to do?
With a 78 percentile in JEE Main, your options for Computer Science (CS) will be limited to lower-ranked NITs, some IIITs, and state-level engineering colleges. Private universities might also be an option, and you might have to consider branches other than CS if you prioritize a government college.
