With an 89.5 percentile in the general category and as an outside-state candidate, your chances of getting a top NIT or IIIT in the last round of counseling are generally low, especially for popular branches like Computer Science Engineering (CSE) or Electrical Engineering Civil

• Engineering: Often has lower cutoffs.
• Mechanical Engineering: Might be possible in some newer NITs.
• Chemical Engineering: Could be an option in certain NITs.
• Metallurgical and Materials Engineering: Often has lower closing ranks.
• Production/Industrial Engineering: May be available in some NITs.
• Biotechnology: Possible in some NITs.
• Food Technology: Offered in a few NITs with lower cutoffs.

Factors to Consider:

• Specific College: Cutoffs vary significantly between NITs and IIITs. Newer ones generally have lower cutoffs.
• Number of Rounds: The "last round" can sometimes refer to different rounds depending on the counseling process (JoSAA, CSAB special rounds).
• Seat Availability: The number of vacant seats in the last round plays a crucial role.
• Previous Year Trends: Analyzing the previous year's closing ranks for outside-state general category candidates with a similar percentile can give a better idea.

However there are some things, I would like to recommend you:

1. Use College Predictors, there are several websites that provide you with this tool, here is the link:

   .
2. Check JoSAA/CSAB Last Round Cutoffs: The official Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) and Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) websites publish the closing ranks for each round of counseling after it concludes. Look for the last round cutoffs for the general (open) category for outside-state candidates for the previous year(s). This will provide the most accurate picture.
3. You can also consider Newer IIITs and GFTIs, which might have lower cut-offs .

Hope this helps you !
