150 Marks in JEE Main 2026 – Percentile & Rank Analysis

150/300 marks ≈ 93–95 percentile, rank ~70,000–1,00,000 — NE NITs, GFTIs, and state counselling

150 Marks in JEE Main 2026 – What It Means

Scoring 150 marks out of 300 in JEE Main 2026 places you in approximately the 93rd–95th percentile — top 5–7% of ~14 lakh candidates — with a CRL rank of 70,000–1,00,000. This is a competitive score that opens genuine engineering pathways through JoSAA and state counsellings.

Through JoSAA, your primary targets should be: newer NITs in NE states (NIT Arunachal Pradesh, NIT Nagaland, NIT Mizoram — their non-CSE branches close around 80,000–1,10,000), and GFTIslike IIEST Shibpur (Civil/Architecture), SLIET Punjab, and Assam University.

Through state counsellings, 93–95 percentile is strong. Maharashtra state quota uses JEE Main directly; AKTU UP covers Harcourt Butler Technical University (HBTU) Kanpur, MMMUT Gorakhpur, and many government-aided private colleges. These are often underrated options with improving placement records.
