Well first of all you have to find out if you are in the top 20 percentile of your board or not. If your board was CBSE then you are not in top 20 percentile.
The other criteria for SC/ST is that they should have 65% marks in boards if they are not in top 20 percentile.
So in that case you will not get admission in any NIT/IIT/IIIT/GFTI through JOSAA counselling.
However if you do lie in top 20 percentile then congrats you have performed extremely well and with your score and category you can get computer science in almost any top institute of india be that NIT or IIT. But first confirm the board criteria!
