JEE

The 67 percentile in JEE Mains may not get the General category candidates through the all-India quota access to Rashtrakavi Ramdhari Singh Dinkar College of Engineering, Begusarai, especially core branch such as Computer Science. Nevertheless, the probability is far higher in case you are a part of the Home State quota or one of the reserved groups. Your chances may still be there in branches as Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering or Mechanical Engineering based on the trend of past years. The priority is to get the cut offs of the respective year during Bihar UGEAC counseling to reveal the complete picture.

You get an 80 percentile by a candidate of OBC category in JEE Main and qualify OBC cutoff, so you are entitled to counselling in NIT. But in popular branches such as CSE/ECE/Mechanical, getting admission in the best NITs, will be extremely tough. You have the best chance of newer or less competitive NITs (e.g. NIT Agartala, NIT Manipur, NIT Mizoram) in major branches such as Civil, Chemical, Metallurgy, or Biotechnology. There are also bright chances of you in GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes) in branches. Further, you might want to go to college counselling in your state government as domicile quotas are a big boost to your chances of admission.

Your rank in JEE main with an 83.74 percentile is 83,000 which is high enough and this is because of your OBC category. Even though, you will be entitled to NIT counselling because the OBC cutoff is typically in the range of 79-80 percentile, your chances of getting selected in most NITs are very slim and even in case of the popular branches like CSE, ECE, or Mechanical. You would stand the best chances in less competitive or newer NITs (e.g in states of North-East, such as NIT Agartala, NIT Manipur, NIT Mizoram) in branch like Civil, Chemical or Metallurgy and possibly in GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes) via JoSAA and especially via CSAB special rounds, where cutoffs are usually lower.

As you have a JEE Main SC category rank of 17,000; you will have good opportunities in getting admission to different government colleges particularly in NITs, IIITs and GFTIs with regard to some branches.You can possibly get into some of the lower ranked NITs ( e.g. NIT Agartala, NIT Arunachal Pradesh, NIT Manipur, NIT Nagaland, NIT Puducherry, NIT Sikkim, NIT Mizoram) in such departments as Civil, Mechanical, Biotechnology, Metallurgy and less desired engineering profiles. In newer or less popular IIITs (e.g. IIIT Manipur, IIIT Una, IIIT Bhagalpur) you could get to be in a branch other than CSE/IT in the IIITs. GFTIs ( Government Funded Technical Institutes ) give you more options across the branches considering the rank of your SC category.
