Hi

It's quite difficult to predict because cutoff keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like :-

******number of students that appeared in the  jee main exam,

****** number of available seats,

****** performance of different students in the examination,

****** the category you belong etc.

But yes,

When we go through previous year trend then

>>>>> with 42k  sc rank

You have low chances for IIITs

For example,

Closing rank for some of the IIITs for which closing rank goes low are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2020 for sc category  :-


  • Indian Institute of Information Technology(IIIT) Dharwad, Computer Science and Engineering  :- 9297 sc rank

  • Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara International Campus Diu (IIITVICD), Computer Science and Engineering:- 10040 sc rank

  • Indian Institute of Information Technology, Agartala, Computer Science and Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology):- 10226 sc rank

  • Indian Institute of Information Technology Bhagalpur, Mechatronics Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology) :- 11133 sc rank


You can verify the above at

So, to get a seat in IIITs you should have got least around 10,000 - 11,000 Sc rank
