Since you haven’t mentioned a particular category, I am assuming that you are an unreserved candidate. NITs offer two kinds of seats through JoSAA counseling, one set of seats are reserved for home state candidates, while another set is for students from other states. Home State Quota applies to the candidates who complete their class 11th and 12th from the state of their desired NIT.
A 97 percentile in JEE Main 2024 should correspond to approximately 36,000 rank in the examination. Here is the 2023 cutoff for B.Tech courses at NIT Trichy to give you a basic idea of the current trend-
NIT Trichy 2023 cutoff for JEE MAIN (open category)
Branch | HS (Gender-Neutral) | OS (Gender-Neutral) |
---|---|---|
Chemical Engineering | 20,670 | 15,816 |
Civil Engineering | 33,703 | 20,873 |
Computer Science and Engineering | 5,164 | 1,509 |
Electrical and Electronics Engineering | 9,902 | 6,726 |
Electronics and Communication Engineering | 7,153 | 4,642 |
Instrumentation and Control Engineering | 15,486 | 14,240 |
Mechanical Engineering | 16,238 | 10,751 |
Metallurgical and Materials Engineering | 32,122 | 24,678 |
Production Engineering | 26,853 | 25,958 |
As evident from the table above, a rank >=36,000 can sadly not fetch you a seat in NIT Trichy. So 97 percentile will not get you a B.Tech admission at NIT Trichy.
