Low Rank in JEE Main 2025: A rank above 30,000 is a low rank in JEE Main 2025. If you rank is above 30,000, getting into top NIT would be quite difficult. However, you can get admission to colleges accepting low rank in JEE Main. Institutes like Heritage Institute of Technology, IIIT Vadodara, NIT Jalandhar, etc, offer admission to candidates with low rank in JEE Main 2025.

  • If you score between 30,000 to 40,000 in JEE Main 2025, you may get admission to IIIT colleges like IIT Kota, IIIT Manipur, IIIT Kalyani, etc. 
  • If your score is above 70,000, there is high chance that you may get into NIT Goa, NIT Sikkim, NIT Raipur, NIT Hamirpur.

The good news is that several colleges, including NITs and IIITs do accept JEE Main low ranks going beyond 2,00,000. Other than the NITS, other IIITs that offer admission to candidates for low JEE Mains Cut off are IIIT Guwahati, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Una, IIIT Chittoor, IIITDM Kancheepuram, IIITDM Jabalpur. You can also choose from the top CFTIs such as the Indian Institute of Handloom Technology, Salem, National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management, Thanjavur, Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi, National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management, Kundli.

The list of colleges that accept low rank in JEE Main 2025 is provided here based on the closing ranks of last year.
