For students aiming for top-tier NITs (like Trichy or Surathkal), a percentile of 99.5+ is typically required for Computer Science. However, Core branches in mid-tier NITs remain accessible for candidates scoring in the 97.5 to 98.5 percentile range.

For SC candidates, the qualifying threshold is anticipated to be between 60 and 62 percentile, while ST candidates may qualify for JEE Advanced with a score of 47 to 49 percentile. This keeps the path to IITs open for a wide range of students.
