Hello Vikas,

With a rank of 71,000 in JEE Main, getting admission to top NITs in CSE is unlikely because CSE is highly competitive.

However, you can consider these options:

• Look for NITs with lower cutoffs for CSE or related branches like Information Technology or Electronics.

• Branches other than CSE, such as Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, or Metallurgical engineering, may be available at better-ranked NITs.

• Some NITs with lower cutoff ranks include NIT Agartala, NIT Silchar, NIT Jamshedpur, and NIT Arunachal Pradesh.

• You may also explore IIITs and other government-funded technical institutes with available seats.

• Private engineering colleges and state universities are alternatives where you can pursue CSE or related courses with your rank.

It's important to participate actively in counselling, fill multiple choices, and be flexible with branch and college preferences to secure a seat.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
