Yes, you are eligible to register for JoSAA counselling even if you are not eligible for JEE Advanced. Your 31 percentile and 30,000 rank in ST category allow you to participate in JoSAA, although the chances of getting top NITs may be low. You may have a better chance in NITs from the North-East or in less competitive branches. Make sure to list all available options during choice filling and consider state-level options too.

With an OBC NCL category rank of 1,51,000, it becomes quite challenging to secure a seat in the core branches of NITs or IIITs through JoSAA rounds. However, a few newer IIITs or GFTIs may still have openings in streams like Metallurgy, Production, or even Civil in later rounds. Keep an eye on spot round announcements and also consider private colleges with good reputations and lateral entry or transfer options in the second year.

Since you have a 98.83 percentile in JEE Main, there are great chances of computer Science (CS) branch in various good NITs. Although you may find it quite competitive to secure CS in the best NITs like the Trichy, Warangal and Surathkal, chances are you will get CS in NIT Delhi, NIT Kurukshetra, NIT Durgapur, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Patna, NIT Raipur, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Goa, NIT Silchar and NIT Andhra Pradesh. Your prospects are better still, when you have a home-state quota or fall under one of the reserved categories. Make sure that the cut offs of the previous year are looked up in JoSAA counselling.

Having ranked as PwD category 527 in JEE Main, you get a very good opportunity to excel and obtain B.Tech in Computer Science (CS) or Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) in best Delhi colleges in home state quota. Closing ranks in institutes such as DTU, NSUT and IIIT Delhi are usually much lower in the PwD category than in the general categories of applicants. To give an example, the earlier PwD centralized home state cutoffs of CSE in the IIIT Delhi were between the range of 1.6-4.5 lakh. To get the maximum opportunity to get admission, you must keenly attend JAC Delhi counseling.

IITs (Madras, Delhi, Mumbai and Kanpur), NITs (Tiruchirappalli, Warangal) and the other popular and prestigious institutions BITS Pilani, VIT Vellore and SRM Institute of Science and Technology remain the best bets to get a Bachelor in Civil Engineering in India. IITs and NITs are mostly offered based on the scores of JEE Main and JEE Advanced. Most of the privately owned colleges hold their individual entrance examination (e.g., VITEEE, SRMJEEE, BITSAT) or allow JEE Main result. The cost of Tuition at both government institutions and private colleges ranges between 2-8 Lacs to 3-15 Lacs respectively under 4 years.

Tuition fees to students majoring in B.Tech, Mechanical Engineering in India differ widely. Most of the tuition fees of 8-10 Lacs per year in government colleges (such as IITs or NITs) amounts to an overall price of 2-8 Lacs over 4 years. The overall expenses may be even higher in case of the private colleges with an average of INR 3 Lacs to INR 15 Lacs overall, with some of the best private colleges crossing this figure in total. Such figures do not usually include extra expenses such as hostel, mess, and studies fees which are usually significant in terms of annual expenditure.

Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), Thiruvananthapuram, the IITs (Bombay, Madras, Kanpur, Kharagpur) are the other top colleges across India to pursue Aerospace Engineering. Admission to IITs and IIST usually demands both the successfully completion of 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) and high JEE Advanced rank. Other good programs can be obtained in many private universities such as SRM, VIT, Manipal and Amity. They are normally eligible with 10+2 PCM with a certain percentage (which is normally 45 to 60%), and their performance in the respective entrance exam, example SRMJEEE/VITEEE/MET.
