Top Colleges Accepting Low JEE Main Score 2024

The list of colleges accepting low JEE Main score 2024 includes Atal Bihari Vajpayee IIITM Gwalior, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Guwahati and many more.

Colleges accepting low JEE Main scores are IEM Kolkata, The Oxford College of Engineering, Bangalore, Techno India University and IIIT Vadodra among others. Usually, a rank of 70000 and above is considered a low rank in JEE Main 2024. This is why, candidates often lose hope of getting admission to NITs.

However, the good part is that many colleges accept a low JEE Main rank range. There is no standard definition of what a JEE Main low rank means for different candidates. The JEE Main cutoff is generally high, and with 10 lakh students appearing for the exams every year for a minimal number of seats, every student would be unable to secure the desired result.

Candidates seeking admission to IITs who do not qualify for JEE Advanced can also gain admission. Thus, it is crucial to check the list of colleges accepting low JEE Main scores 2024.
