Hello Anmol,
Your analysis is on target. You have scored quite well without any coaching and I am sure with coaching your rank would improve substantially. It's therefore a good decision to take break for one year for concentrated studies.

You have chances of getting good central institutes like NITs, IIITs and central universities. All depends on your desired branch. I will better suggest you to check the old cutoffs available at JoSAA and CSAB.

The cut-off marks for OBC category is 49. So, you have just passed the exam and you are also qualified to take JEE Advanced. With this score, you have really low chances to get admission into any NIT, IIIT or GFTI.
So, it is better if you try for other colleges that accept both JEE Mains scores and board exam marks for admission.
If you want, you can apply for counselling through www.josaa.nic.in for admission into NITs ,IIITs, and GFTIs. You might get NIT-Sikkim, Agartala, etc.
This counselling will be available after JEE Advanced exam gets over.
All the best.

Hello Pratap!
The admission is based on the cut-off marks. the cut-off marks are calculated as follows:
1) Divide maths mark by 2
2) Then add the marks of physics and chemistry. and divide the total by 4
3) Add the resulting marks.
4) Now you will get the marks out of 200. This is called cut off marks.
For each caste-like BC, MBC, etc., there are different cut-off marks. So your caste and the marks out-off 200 determine your admission into Anna University and its affiliated colleges.
Mention your caste so that I can help you.
All the best!

You can go to some of the top private colleges accepting JEE Mains and board percentage. There you can also get scholarships up to 100% (maybe).

You can get admission in good colleges with 72 marks in JEE Mains if you have good marks in board exams.

According to the current situation, there is no update for changes in JEE Mains 2018. So, the possibility of change is also less.
