Students targeting a 95 percentile in the JEE Main 2026 exam can expect an All India Rank (AIR) around 60,000 or higher . This rank range offers admission possibilities to newer National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs). The National Testing Agency (NTA) typically releases results in percentile form due to the exam’s multi-session format and varying difficulty levels.
Expected All India Rank for 95 Percentile
Calculations by subject matter experts consider previous years’ trends and exam difficulty. A score of approximately 120 marks can translate to a 95 percentile.
| JEE Main Percentile | Expected All India Rank |
|---|---|
| 95.0 to 95.3 | 75,000 to 70,500 |
| 95.4 to 95.7 | 69,000 to 64,500 |
| 95.8 to 96.1 | 63,000 to 58,500 |
College Admissions with 95 Percentile
An AIR around 60,000 may not secure admission in top NITs. However, it can provide opportunities in branches like Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering at several NITs and IIITs. Newer NITs and GFTIs are also potential targets.
Institutes to Consider
Students achieving a 95 percentile can target the following institutions. Specific branches depend on individual college cutoffs and category.
- NIT Agartala : Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering
- NIT Meghalaya : Mechanical, Civil, ECE, CSE
- NIT Goa : ECE, Civil, Mechanical
- NIT Uttarakhand : Civil, Mechanical, ECE, CSE
- NIT Raipur : Biotech, Chemical Metallurgy, Civil, ECE, IT, CSE
- IIIT Kalyani : CSE, IT, ECE, AI & DS
- IIIT Andhra Pradesh : CSE, IT, ECE, AI & DS
- IIIT Ranchi/Bhopal/Vadodara : CSE, IT, ECE, AI & DS
- IITDM Kurnool : CSE, IT, ECE, Mechanical, Design
- MNIT Jaipur : Core Branches
- BIT Mesra : CSE, IT, ECE, Mechanical, Civil
- VIT Vellore : CSE, IT, ECE, Mechanical, Civil
- COEP Tech, MIT Manipal, PES Bangalore : CSE, IT, ECE, Mechanical, Civil
Admission to Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at NITs often requires a higher percentile. Candidates should check specific cutoff trends for their preferred branches and institutes.
