At this score, he should look for specialised or interdisciplinary branches where the OBC cutoff is lower:
IIT Jammu / IIT Dharwad: May get core Electrical or Power Electronics in later rounds.
IIT BHU (Varanasi): Possible for programs like Electrical Machines and Drives or specialised Chemical/Materials branches (if they accept EEE).
IIT Mandi: Possible for Power Electronics & Drives (PED) or Energy Engineering.
IIT Gandhinagar / IIT Bhubaneswar: Good chances for interdisciplinary branches like Biomedical Engineering or Earth System Science.

No, the JEE Main exam on April 5, 2026, was not cancelled. However, it was officially rescheduled for certain candidates.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) allowed students to request a change of date because April 5 coincided with Easter Sunday. Following representations from students and religious communities, the Union Government approved a provision for affected candidates to opt for an alternate exam date within the Session 2 window (April 2 to April 9, 2026).

With a 98.35 percentile in JEE Main, you are in a very strong position. This score generally corresponds to an All India Rank (AIR) between 18,000 and 22,000, which opens doors to several prestigious National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs).
1. Top NIT Options (Other State Quota)
While Computer Science (CSE) at the top 5 NITs (like Trichy or Warangal) might be difficult for the General category, you have excellent chances for CSE in mid-tier NITs and core branches in elite NITs:
CSE / IT / AI-DS:
NIT Patna
Raipur
NIT Hamirpur

Yes, you can absolutely apply for the GITAM Admission Test (GAT) even if your JEE Main or EAMCET scores are low. In fact, that is exactly what the GAT is for—it provides a separate pathway for admission to GITAM University regardless of your performance in other national or state-level exams.
