75+ Percentile in JEE Main 2026 Predictions and Expectations

Anticipating what rank you might get with 75 percentile in JEE Mains 2026? Going by the last 5 years' percentile trends and a sudden increase in this year's paper difficulty level across all shifts, our ecpert, Supreeta Roy , predicts - "If you manage to score 75+ percentile in JEE Main Session 1 2026, your probable rank will be somewhere around 361,500-375,000. However, to achieve this, you will need to score at least 36-37 marks out of 300. At this range, top and mid-tier NITs are unlikely for General category students. You will have to restrict your choices to low-tier NITs, like NIT Mizoram or NIT Goa, with less popular branches through Home state quota or reservations."

The good news is, many private engineering colleges and state universities, like Maharishi Markandeshwar (Deemed to be University) in Ambala and GITAM (Deemed to be University) in Hyderabad, accept JEE Main 2026 scores in the range of 75+ percentile. You can also get admission to colleges such as Symbiosis Institute of Sciences (Indore), GITAM (Visakhapatnam), Quantum University (Roorkee), and others.
