List of Engineering Colleges even if your rank low in JEE Main 2025

As for the JEE Mains 2025 exam, a low rank implies a rank that is more than 70,000. This distinction is made based on the competitiveness of the examination, in which most of the premier universities including the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IITs) are believed to have comparatively higher cutoff ranks for their admissions. Students under this bracket might have low self-esteem about procuring a seat in preferred NITs or B. Tech courses since most of these institutions admit students with a rank much lower than 70,000.

For example, between rank 30,000 and 40,000 in JEE Mains 2025 is also considered low regarding admissions in IIITs. Most of the candidates in this rank category may not have the appropriate qualifications that would enable them to get into their preferred branches in these establishments. The low rank is considered such primarily and chiefly due to the competition and nature of the few slots for students in the competitive and demanding colleges.

But, at the same time, it is necessary to mention that rank does not always mean the absence of opportunities. Admissions are given by most of the engineering colleges in India, including some of the NITs and IIITs, up to the rank of 70, 000, and even more than 20,000. Despite having comparatively lower cutoff ranks compared to the IITs, these colleges offer a chance to students who are disappointed with their JEE Mains performance and wish to pursue their engineering dreams.

All in all, one needs to remember that a rank above 70,000 in the JEE Mains 2025, overall, may be seen as low and can cause severe limitations regarding admission to the top NITs and IIITs; still, many respectable colleges and institutes would open a vast array of opportunities for students to become successful in their studies and future careers.

Admission to Engineering Colleges in India Accepting Low JEE Main Rank 2025

After the opening of engineering colleges in India and accepting low ranks in JEE Main, the colleges require some eligibility standards to check the qualifications of the candidates and their relevant interests in their respective programs. Here’s an overview of the eligibility criteria for such colleges in 2025:

• Educational Qualifications: Candidates need to clear their 12th standard exams in the same year or within 2 years of the examination. In grade 12, they should have passed five subjects: mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, biotechnology, language, and any other subject.
• Minimum Percentage Requirement: In general, candidates should have a minimum aggregate of 50%–75% in their 12th-grade board exams, depending on the institution. However, there may be certain NITs and IIITs that demand a higher percentage, say 75% or more.
• Entrance Exam: The NTA primarily offers admission based on the candidate's performance in the Joint Entrance Examination Main (JE&M). Only candidates with a low rank in JEE Main are eligible to apply to these colleges.
• Specific criteria for IIITs: There could be other requirements; the students should have scored at least 60% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in the 12th standard board examination for admission into the IIITs.
• State-Level Entrance Tests: Some states may administer other entrance examinations in addition to the JEE Main. Students must inquire as to whether the desired colleges recognize scores from state-level examinations.
• Deemed Universities and Other Institutions: Apart from NITs and IIITs, deemed universities like VIT, SRM, KIIT, etc., conduct their entrance examinations (VITEEE, SRMJEEE, etc.), which can be an option for the students to get through.
• Counseling Process: JoSAA counseling allocates seats in NITs, IIITs, and other centrally funded technical education institutes based on the ranks earned in JEE Main.

These eligibility criteria ensure that candidates not only pass their academics but also continue their engineering education in institutions that consider different JEE Main ranks. For candidates, it is always useful to visit specific admissions notices and the counseling processes announced by these institutions and JoSAA.
