If you are unable to crack JEE and do not get selected for IITs or NITs, it is not the end of your engineering career dream. In order to have good engineering degree, you may try for BITS, BIT, VIT University, Manipal University, Shiv Nadar University, Tapar University, DTU, NSIT, NIIT University, JIT University etc. by participating in their admission process. Few engineering colleges under UPTU such as JSS, AKG etc. are equally good. If you dream of doing B.Tech from IITs or NITs only, you may evaluate taking one year drop for engineering entrance examination preparations.

Hello Pratap!
The admission into NITs is based on your ranks in JEE main examination. As you belong To SC category, your category rank should be below 500, so that you can get a seat at the top NITs in CSE.
You have to score 150+, so that you can easily get a seat at the top NITs.
All the best.
