Admission:

I cleared JEE MAINS and on the basis of my rank, I applied for many colleges. I was specifically looking for the top two engineering branches that is Computer Science and Electronics and Communication Engineering and have applied for many but could not get into it due to higher rank category. Earlier I got Civil Engineering in NIT SILCHAR then I got Electronics and Communication Engineering at IIIT KOTTAYAM. I preferred IIIT KOTTAYAM over NIT SILCHAR because of the branch since Electronics and Communication Engineering is considered the second best branch after Computer Science Engineering. Yes, I got rejection from other colleges because the eligibility criteria for those colleges were securing high rank but my rank was not up to the mark. To get into such colleges , students need to clear Jee Mains and secure a good rank to get into such colleges. For general category , students need to get the rank under 30000 to get admission to such colleges. Colleges are listed via Josaa Counselling. Admission procedure is the student need to bring some of the important documents such as 10th and 12th board marksheet , category paper , jee rank and other such important documents to get into the admission procedure. The process starts in the academic section.

IIIT Kottayam: 1 Answered Question

I got 87%ile in jee mains.(category -OBC) . Should i get admission in IIIT kottayam?

Vinima Bhola

Depending on the specific branch and the OBC cutoff ranks, your chances of being accepted into IIIT Kottayam's B.Tech programme with an 87th percentile in the OBC and JEE Main categories vary.

The 87th percentile in JEE Main 2025 typically corresponds to a rank between 90,000 and 140,000, depending on the session and normalization; however, due to reservations, the OBC category rank is lower.
You are unlikely to get admitted to IIIT Kottayam's B.Tech CSE programme based on cutoff ranks.
Around 10,000–13,000 is the OBC-NCL cutoff for CSE at IIIT Kottayam in 2025 (Round 1). The cutoff for CSE and probably the majority of other branches is significantly lower than your predicted OBC rank of 30,000–35,000.
