JEE 2026 State Quota vs All India Quota 🔥 NIT Admission Reality Explained

Clearing JEE Main alone is not enough to secure admission in an NIT. Many students with good ranks fail to get a seat, while others with much lower ranks succeed. The reason is not marks or intelligence — it is the quota system and counselling strategy.
In this video, we explain the real difference between State (Home State) Quota and All India Quota in JEE 2026, and how these quotas directly impact NIT admissions. You will clearly understand why a student with an AIR 42,000 missed an NIT seat, while another student with a much lower rank was able to secure admission.
