HELLO STUDENT!

Well your percentile in JEE MAINS is 91.6 and we can say that your rank might be near about ~90k-95k. Since you can get reservation benefits of SC category and your category rank may be ~3k. This rank might vary according to various factors like:

>> NO. OF STUDENTS APPEARING FOR EXAM

>> MARKS OBTAINED BY THEM IN ANY PARTICULAR SHIFT etc.

Seeing the previous year cutoffs for SC Category for pursuing B.Tech in mechanical engg., following were the closing ranks for NITs:

  • MNNIT ALLAHABAD : ~3.4k
  • MANIT BHOPAL: HS: ~6k ; OS: ~4.6K
  • NIT SURATHKAL: HS: ~5k ; OS:~2k
  • MNIT JAIPUR: HS:~3.4k ; OS: ~3.8k

Hello Aspirant,

As you have got 91.6 percentile in JEE mains your general rank will be around 105000 and your SC category rank will be around 2,200 .

You have high  chances to get good NITs with Mechanical Engineering. Also keep in mind that getting a seat will depend on varies factors such as number of students applied for the same branch, performance of the students, category of the students, home state etc.

Here are some NITs for you from my preference :

  1. NIT Durgapur
  2. NIT Kurukshetra
  3. VNIT Nagpur
  4. NIT Jaipur
  5. NIT Calicut
  6. NIT Rourkela
  7. MNNIT Allahabad
