SC and ST candidates get 80,000 to 1,00,000 rank benefit, making multiple NE NITs and most GFTIs accessible in core branches. The category certificate must be issued on or after April 1, 2026, for JoSAA 2026 validity.
Ques. Is state counselling better than JoSAA for 70 to 75 percentile candidates?
Ans. For General category candidates, yes. UPTAC, JAC Delhi, and JAC Chandigarh give access to state government engineering colleges not available through JoSAA. Candidates should register for both JoSAA and the relevant state counsellings to maximise options.
