Hello student,

With an 80 percentile and an approximate CRL rank of 100,670 in JEE Mains, getting a seat in a top NIT through JoSAA counseling is unlikely, especially for competitive branches like CSE . However, through CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) Special Rounds , there is a possibility of securing a seat in lower-tier NITs or in branches with less demand.

What to Expect:

1. Lower-demand branches in lower-tier NITs .
2. State-quota seats in some NITs may have slightly lower cutoffs.
3. CSAB tends to have vacant seats available after the regular JoSAA rounds, which may increase your chances.

With 80 percentile , you might have a chance to get into an NIT through CSAB special rounds , though it would likely be in a non-core branch or a lower-tier NIT.
