NIT

don't know about next year but this year it did. your jee ranks carry 40% board weightage so can create considerable difference in ranks.

Could be difficult, but you can make a good try as you belong to the reserved category Manjeet.

yes or even you get the nit krukshetra I think which is better than the jalandhar .

I think you are not get the cutoff marks in general category so you are not eligible to apply in NITs abd government colleges as my knowledge however you have very good percentage so you have a great chance to get good colleges.

It depends on ur jee main marks in 2017.u r eligible

Some best colleges are still accepting applications for engineering programs. Some suggestions -

Only if you belong to a reserved category.

What is your category?

No, you cannot. Try for privates.
