NIT Surathkal - National Institute of Technology

Your score is decent and OBC cutoff may be low. CSE doesn't seem to be 'not achievable'. But if not CSE you can always get into IT if you like coding.

Ofcourse. If you are dedicated enough getting a job is pretty easy. All you need is dedication towards the field. Work on your interest from very early time, to add up thing to your resume. study well for exams. keep decent pointers above 7.8-8 and prepare for interviews. you are there! all the best

For OBC around 145 is a safe score assuming your board score is decent enough. But this varies every year. So don't loose hope. Try for NITK MECH. you may get it. cheers!

157 some how may not be good enough for general category and without state quota. I still think that depends upon the competition and interest of people above you. but even if you don't get in to mechanical NITK, don't loose your hope. There are plenty of other colleges like NIT Allahabad or Rourekela that you can get into and build an outstanding career. Even though NITK looks a tough nut, all the best for your future endeavors.

With your credentials you can get Information technology at BIT Mesra and School of Engineering & Technology, Mizoram. Other top tier colleges will be hard to get.

With 82 in JEE and 90 in PUC your chances of getting NITK through general or OBC are very slim. With other categories getting low cut-off branches are possible. If you have State Quota you may also get other branches with category.
