IIIT

Although in IITs, there are 2 seats reserved for defence personnel but for NITs, GFTIs, IIITs there is no quota for CAPF personnel. There are in total 10,006 seats across all IITs and Jee Advanced qualified total number of students were 26,456 amongst which CAPF sets were quite less but yes reserved.

It may not be possible to get into the top IIITs with this score. You can go through the college predictor regarding this but 94% is a very good score in 2024. But you can still get into some good IIITs with this score like, IIIT Pune, IIIT Bhubaneswar, IIIT Lucknow, IIIT Sonepat, IIIT Ranchi, and IIIT Kottayam.

Unlike NITs and CFTIs, the IIITs accept candidates up to JEE Main rank 54,000 in the open and gender-neutral category. They mostly offer popular courses like Computer Science Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, and Information Technology to the candidates who rank above 25000 in JEE Mains.

Some of NITs and IIITs which offer computer Science engineering are

• IIIT's Like IIIT kota, IIIT Guwahati, IIIT kalyani, IIIT sonepat, IIIT vadodara etc.
• NIT's Like NIT Hamirpur, NIT Meghalaya, NIT puducherry, NIT Sikkim, NIT Uttarkhand etc.

It is difficult to tell whether any candidate can get a seat in IIIT in EWS quota with a rank of 31000 or not as per the information. Because it depends on various factors, such as the cut-off of your selected IIIT, number of seats, and performance of other candidates.

Under EWS quota, the Central Government has recently introduced 10% reservation quota. Its benefit is available only to those candidates whose family income is less than Rs 8 lakh.

You are advised to contact your selected institutions and get more information about the special reservation quota. If you have more questions, please share them.
