hi,

With 95.3 percentile in JEE Main under the OBC-NCL category, you may have good chances in several National Institutes of Technology for branches like Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, Metallurgy, Production, Biotechnology, or some circuital branches in newer NITs depending on your home state quota and cutoff trends. Institutes such as National Institute of Technology Hamirpur, National Institute of Technology Jalandhar, National Institute of Technology Raipur, and National Institute of Technology Silchar could be realistic options. Final admission depends on CRL rank, category rank, branch preference, and JoSAA counselling cutoffs.

Both Engineering degrees and diplomas have their own value, so the better option depends on your goals. A B.Tech/BE degree (4 years) covers branches like Computer Science, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Electronics & Communication, and IT with more depth, theory, and project work. A Diploma (3 years) focuses more on practical training in similar fields like Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, and Computer Engineering.If you want higher studies, research, or better long-term growth, a degree is usually preferred. If you want quicker entry into jobs with hands-on skills, a Diploma works well. In the end, it depends on your career goals and le

IITs are generally ranked higher and attract more global recruiters, but top NIT branches like CSE or ECE at Trichy, Surathkal, or Warangal often rival mid-tier IITs.

After your first job, skills, projects, and reputation matter far more than the institute name. So if you are getting a top NIT with a great branch like CSE, it can easily be a better choice than a new IIT with a weaker branch.

Yes, IIIT Lucknow offers good tag value and job security in tech in many ways as it indeed outpaces many NITs.
IIIT Lucknow (NOT IIT Lucknow) has a phenomenal placement record with an average package of INR 33 LPA and a highest package of INR 1.45 crore in 2024–25 and top companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple recently recruiting from campus and top IIITs like IIIT Lucknow outsources many NITs in software roles and the IIT tag still offers better brand value in the tech industry as a whole.
Considering your JEE Mains rank of 3173 and your category as an OBC candidate you are at good odds of getting a top seat in a top-tier
