With a JEE Main 2026 percentile of 81.40 and SC category rank of 2,91,970, admission to top NITs like Surathkal, Trichy, Warangal, Allahabad, Jaipur, Calicut is not possible. Their SC cutoffs for even lower branches usually close around 20,000–40,000 rank.

- CSE/ECE/IT close around SC rank 2,000–5,000.
- Civil/Mechanical close around SC rank 10,000–20,000.

With a 70 percentile in JEE Main (General category) and being from Andhra Pradesh (AP), here's a clear picture of your admission chances:
What 70 Percentile Means
- Approximate rank: 3,00,000 – 4,50,000.
- NITs/IIITs via JoSAA: Not possible, since even the lowest cutoffs for Civil/Mechanical in newer NITs close around 2–2.5 lakh.
- Government colleges in AP: You can still get admission through AP EAPCET (state counseling), where JEE Main rank is also considered for some seats.
Options in Andhra Pradesh
1. Government Colleges (via Andhra Pradesh EAPCET Counseling)
- JNTU Kakinada, JNTU Anantapur, AU College of Engineering (Visakhapatnam).

JoSAA (NIT/IIIT/GFTI): ❌ Not possible.
State Govt Colleges (REAP Rajasthan): ✅ Possible, but mostly in Civil/Mechanical/Electrical.
Private Universities: ✅ Strong chance for CSE/IT/ECE.
👉 My advice:
Fill REAP AND OTHER STATES counseling for Rajasthan government colleges (you may get Civil/Mechanical/Electrical).
Apply to private universities in Jaipur (VGU, JECRC, Amity, Poornima) if you want CSE/IT.
Keep both routes open so you don't miss out.
