With your OBC-NCL rank of 38,613 and CRL rank of 1,16,715 with Odisha Home State quota, you can target lower or core/dual-degree and Science branches in mid-to-lower tier NITs, newer IIITs, and system-aligned GFTIs during the CSAB Special Round.

With your rank, you have chances in:

  • IET Lucknow or BIET Jhansi
  • Lower-tier NITs/IIITs or newer GFTIs in CSAB
  • Good core/circuital branches in Amrita University's counselling

With rank under 50,000, you can target CSE/ECE in newer IIITs (Kalyani, Dharwad), core branches in top NITs (Jalandhar, Bhopal), and tech branches in GFTIs (JNU, BIT Mesra).

If you are OBC candidate then you can

1) Fill JoSSA — try for NIT Manipur/Nagaland/Mizoram in Civil or Mechanical

2) Participate in CSAB — extra chance

3) Don't skip state counselling — OBC quota there can be very beneficial

4) Apply to NSUT/YMCA — placements rival many NITs
