NIT

For the candidates under the PWD category to join NITs, the cut-off score varies with branch and institute. For Computer Science & Engineering under the OPEN-PwD category, usually a GATE score of approximately 341 is required. Apart from this, the candidates usually have to target a rank close to 1500 under the general-PWD category in order to get a seat in some of the NITs, while scores are a little lower for the OBC and SC/ST PWD candidates. Thus, aiming for a score of over 500 can improve admission opportunities in various branches.

With a CRL rank of 1,078,628 and an EWS rank of 139,272, it is extremely unlikely that competitive branches such as Computer Science or Electrical Engineering will be obtained in NITs or GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes), since the cutoffs for such branches are typically below 50,000 for most NITs and 30,000 for premier GFTIs. Yet, you can still have hope in lower-demand branches such as Civil Engineering or Biotechnology in a few NITs or GFTIs, based on your particular category and state quota. You can still look into options through JoSAA counseling in subsequent rounds.

Your All India Rank (AIR) is roughly 71,000 if you are an OBC with a JEE Main percentile of 91.7 National Institutes of Technology (NIT) admission is competitive and although it may be difficult to get into a top NIT with this rank you might have a chance at a less prestigious or newer NIT, particularly in branches with more seats available.

For example, in the past, several NITs have accepted OBC candidates with rankings higher than 70,000 in particular engineering specialties. These cutoffs, however change every year depending on variables like the volume of applications, available seats and the general difficulty of the test.

Having AIR of 604,826 and SC category rank of 45,093 in JEE Mains, Computer Science Engineering (CSE) or any specialisation in NIT, IIIT, or GFTI seat cannot be attained. Cut-offs for CSE in top NITs and IIITs are usually well below this rank, and it is highly competitive. But you may have chances in some lower or newer IIITs, NITs or GFTIs in other streams of engineering. You should have choices to consider other courses or state-level engineering colleges, private institutes, or alternate options like management quota seats to have better probability. Keep looking at the JoSAA counseling rounds for any update.

With 1,96,878 rank in JEE, its very difficult to get seat in top NITs or IIITs. But in some Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) with low cutoff ranks, you can try. Students can also choose to apply to GFTIs through JoSAA counseling or get into private colleges that offer better chances of admission. Continue exploring colleges and focus your attention where your rank fits.
