Thanks for asking your question. I think that choice filling is going on. If you are a general candidate then the chances are nil of getting a college. For OBC candidates, lower ranked NITs are possible but that too not sure. But if are SC/ST candidate, you have high chances of getting into good IIITs like Allahabad, Jabalpur, and Gwalior and NITs like MNNIT, Hamirpur, Kurukshetra, etc. Go through JoSAA website, check last year's ranks and fill your choices wisely.

Go to the college predictor link I am sharing here. You can predict your college according to your rank.
Good luck.

According to rule, if the family income less than 200000 and with very high rank, one can easily pursue and take benefit of tuition fee waiver scheme. You can easily check date of counseling online in university website.

No, it is not necessary to qualify JEE Mains to take admission because many colleges provide admission directly and many through there own entrance examination, if the college you are interested in accepts only JEE Mains result than only it is necessary otherwise if they provide admission directly then you don't have to clear any entrance exam and in case of there own entrance you have to clear that.
