Hello Akbar,

Congratulations for such a wonderful result.

5063 is a very decent rank. Though securing a seat in NIT is not so easy as it depends on various factors such as your overall rank, category, home state quota . NIT's are second most renowned and popular technical institutes of India after the IITs and everyone wants to make their way to either IITs or NIT's.

So it depends if 5063 is your general category rank or any reserved category rank. Your chances of getting a seat in NIT also depends on your branch selection as which branch you choose.

Though according to me you will get a NIT easily and that too with a good branch it might be possible that you may not get a good branch in very good NIT's but you will surely get a good branch at lower NIT.

There are some NITs where you can get admission in CSE branch in general category without home state quota are:

National Institute of Technology, Andhra Pradesh

National Institute of Technology, Arunachal Pradesh

National Institute of Technology, Durgapur

National Institute of Technology, Goa

National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur

National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur

And many more.
