Hello aspirant,

NITs are the topmost government technical institutes after IITs in India. Every engineering student dreams to get graduate from their but it is not easy to get into this institution. One needs to have a very good rank. The admission to this institute's depends on various factors such as category, home state, toughness level of examination, number of students applied,etc

With the rank of 2981 in St category you can get admission in some lower NITs but there also you have to compromise with the branch like you will not going to get any good branches. You can get civil, chemical, petroleum engineering, and some other lower branch. 

You can go through last year cutoff of different NITs for different branches to have a clear insight
