Hello,

You are rank are very low as compare to previous year cutoffs , the previous year closing rank was around 7.9k for sc category for the lower most branch in NIT, rourkela. Either you can wait for the spot round selection( but chances are very less) or you can apply for some other NITs or you can give the state counseling. In state counseling you have some chances of getting a govt seat in top engineering colleges. Better you can apply for the state counseling and get into some best colleges of state with a good branch like mechanical, electrical or IT.

All the best
