This year arround more than 14 lakhs appeared for Jee out of these only 17-18 thousand will get IITS and remaining top 30 thousand students will join Nits/IIITs/Bits and state GECs but remaining students will join random engineering,competition is increased pretty much and I'm pretty sure had the half of these 14 lakhs student be from well off families, they would look for options abroad, competition is getting extremely unhealthy nowadays bczz even students who are gonna get chemical , mechanical, civil kind of branches in top tier colleges are also gonna target product/analytics/consulting/finance kind of roles or go for MBA via cat at top IIMs/abroad /UPSC /starting up at the end of their engineering which doesn't make any sense to me . It doesn't mean that students who got less percentile are less intelligent but mistakes of 5-8 marks in these exams affect your rank by 1000s . And this thing is gonna worse in near future with ever increasing population of our country
