Thank you 

With this rank of 3700 in EWS, you can not get ECE in NIT calicut by any means. You can get civil or mining or even chemical engineering easily. you can get ECE in other NITs but not in Calicut . 

If you're SC category female aiming for NIT Calicut you'll need a seriously good rank for CSE like under 789 for other state seats or under 4674 for home state in 2025. So 80 percentile is far from enough to grab CS at NIT Calicut.
