JEE

With a JEE Main CRL rank of 130,586 and EWS category rank of 19,921, you are unlikely to secure seats in top NITs or IIITs, but you have a fair chance at lower-ranked NITs, GFTIs, and state-level engineering colleges through JoSAA counseling, especially in less competitive branches.

 Your Admission Chances

1. NITs

• Top NITs (Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal, Jaipur, Allahabad): Cutoffs for EWS are usually below 10,000 rank. Your EWS rank (19,921) is higher, so chances are slim.
• Newer NITs (Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, Manipur, Puducherry): Seats may be available in lower-demand branches like Mining, Metallurgy, Civil, or Biotechnology.

2. IIITs

• Prestigious IIITs (Hyderabad, Bangalore, Delhi) are out of reach.
• Newer IIITs may offer seats in non-core branches with your EWS rank.

3. GFTIs (Government-Funded Technical Institutes)

• Institutes like BIT Mesra (off-campus), Assam University, Gurukul Kangri, and others admit students at higher ranks.
• Mining, Metallurgy, Civil, and Chemical Engineering are more accessible.

4. State-Level Colleges

• Rajasthan state counseling (REAP) and other state-level processes may give you better options with your rank.
• Private universities (like VGU, Amity, SRM, LPU) also offer Computer Science and AI specializations with direct admission.

 Cutoff Snapshot (2026 JEE Main)

• General cutoff: 93.41 percentile.
• EWS cutoff: ~80–82 percentile.
• SC cutoff: ~63.9 percentile.
• Your percentile is above the EWS cutoff, so you qualify for JoSAA counseling.
