What 240 marks means for you
240 out of 360 (67%) clears the General rank-list minimum of 92, as long as you also have at least 8 marks in each subject. CSE or electrical at an older IIT is realistic (Kanpur, Kharagpur, Roorkee, Guwahati).
Twenty more marks (260) would put you near rank 300. In JEE Advanced that's often two questions, or one avoided negative-marking mistake per paper.
