95.6 percentile with 66k CRL and 20k OBC is decent. You might get ECE or EEE in newer NITs like Puducherry, Meghalaya or some GFTIs. IIITs like Nagpur, Bhagalpur, or Ranchi are also possible. Not top-tier, but definitely doable if you're flexible with location and rounds.

A rank of 3.85 Lacs in general catagory is generally too low for admission to IIITs through JEE Main counseling based on recent 2025 cutoffs trends.

No, you can not get into NIT or IIIT or GFTI with 346529 rank in JEE in EWS Category. You can search for other private colleges and state government colleges based on 12th score card or direct admissions in your state or other state.

No, you can not get into CSE/IT/ENTC in NIT/IIIT or GIFT with a CRL of 273071 and an OBC rank of 95501 in JEE Mains. You can check for other private colleges and state engineering colleges with other means.

With 66.1357 percentile and an AIR of 505570 in the general category, getting admission into any IIIT (Indian Institute of Information Technology) through JoSAA Counselling is highly unlikely. Here's a detailed explanation
IIITs have very high cutoffs, especially for General category students. Typically, General category closing ranks for IIITs go up to 40,000–70,000 AIR (approx), depending on:
The branch (CSE being most competitive)
The IIIT's location and popularity
Your rank (505570) is far beyond these cutoffs.

At 707729 rank getting any NIT or IIITt is almost impossible unless you have a strong category rank like ST or PWD. Even then also very few seats in less demanded branches might be available.

With 179670 rank in General category, getting a seat in NIT Rourkela is almost impossible unless you have a home state quota and choose a very low-demand branch. IIITs in Odisha also have high cutoffs. Chances are really slim, but you can try spot rounds just in case.
