JEE Main Scores

if you score 135-140 u may get chemical branch but in round 4 only.

IIIT's take admission as per the JEE result and normalized +2 score . But one needs to apply separately on their admission notifications. Admission is based on all India Rank. state ranks are not considered for admission usually.

There is no point giving a false hope. I would suggest start looking for admission in premier private universities like BITS, MU and Lovely Professional University etc.
Taking a drop would not be a logical step as gap year affects your career a lot.
Dont worry on the placement or Education part. If you would be good you would obviously do well. Best of Luck.

srm Chennai, vit vellore, manipal, kiit bhuwneshwar, galgotias .and many more.

yes this year onwards there will be no entrance exam .admissions would be conducted on basis of jee mains .bt cutoff rank or marks would be declared later.

Yes, you can get into IIITs.

Your JEE Mains Score is too low for NITs. Insted try for some other colleges.
