Hi

Your profile suggests that your home state is kerela.

With 78.8 percentile


Your obc rank will be around 80k

With above  rank, you have very low  chances in NITs .

For example,

Closing rank for some of the lower NITs for OBC  category under other state is provided below in 6th round of josaa counselling 2020 :-

B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN

Apply to VIT - VITEEE 2026


  • NIT Mizoram ,civil engineering :- 14730 obc rank

  • Nit nagaland :- Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology) :-  15340 obc rank

  • National Institute of Technology AgartalaProduction Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology :- 15659  obc rank


You can verify the above at

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

So, to get a seat in NIT you should get at least around 15000 OBC rank i. e around 95 percentile.

You have chances in colleges like

------) Dr APJ Abdul Kalam UIT Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya, Jhabua :- https://www.careers360.com/colleges/dr-apj-abdul-kalam-uit-rajiv-gandhi-proudyogiki-vishwavidyalaya-jhabua/cut-off

------) Institute of People's Science and Technology, Chitrakoot :- https://www.careers360.com/colleges/institute-of-peoples-science-and-technology-chitrakoot/cut-off
