Your Chances of Getting Admitted to IIT with JEE Advanced 122 Marks
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your chances of admission to IIT with 122 marks in JEE Advanced 2019. Your question is very common, especially in the context of the various categories and the complex nature of the IIT admission process.
General Category Admission Chances
If you belong to the General category, your chances of getting admission to a good IIT are quite slim based on the marks you have obtained. However, several factors can still influence your chances, such as the difficulty of the JEE Advanced paper and the number of marks available. In 2019, the JEE Advanced paper was reported to be quite tough. Therefore, the 122 marks you have might just be enough to crack the exam, and you may find yourself ranked around 15,000.
It is important to stay positive during this period. Keep your spirits high and focus on the results. If you have any doubts in mathematics or any other subject, consider using the Doubtnut app. Simply take a snap of the question, and the app will provide video solutions to clarify your doubts.
OBC and Other Reservation Categories
If you belong to the OBC category, you stand a better chance of getting admitted to an IIT, as long as the marks you have are acceptable. However, it is crucial to check the specific cutoffs for your category. The opening and closing marks for various branches in IIST (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research) for the general category in 2018 were as follows:
Aerospace Engineering: Opening marks - 43.89; Closing marks - 34.17 Electronics and Communication: Opening marks - 66.94; Closing marks - 33.05 Dual Degree MSc: Opening marks - 52.78; Closing marks - 36.39The scenario can change slightly this year, but your 122 marks likely won't fit into these ranges for the general category. However, there is always a small chance, especially if the paper was relatively difficult and the total marks were 372. Therefore, don’t lose hope. It’s just a prediction.
Other Educational Institutions and Recommendations
If you do not have a good chance of getting into an IIT, there are still other prestigious institutions you might consider. For example, BITS (Birla Institute of Technology and Science) and VIT (Vellore Institutions of Technology) are well-reputed engineering institutions that offer excellent education. Their entrance exams are different from IIT JEE, so it’s worth checking them out.
Additionally, you can also explore other NIT (National Institute of Technology) branches. Even if your marks are slightly below the cutoff, you might still get admitted to less preferred branches in some NITs. It is always a good idea to focus on your options, especially if you belong to reservation categories, as your chances of getting into IITs improve significantly.
Lastly, keep an optimistic and proactive attitude as you wait for your JEE Advanced results. Good luck with your preparation!
