Hi

hope you doing well

Having a rank of approx 41000 and considering you belong to the OBC-NCL category with Maharashtra as your home state, you have a good chance of securing admission in the CSE branch at some IIITs and VNIT (Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology) through the home state quota.

You may consider these colleges:

IIIT Nagpur: Closing ranks for CSE are generally around 40,000–60,000 for OBC-NCL candidates. You have a good chance here.

IIIT Pune: CSE closing ranks are usually within your range, so you might get admission.

CSE at VNIT Nagpur: Closing ranks for CSE are generally around 25,000–35,000 for OBC-NCL candidates. Your rank may be a bit on the higher side, but it's still worth considering later rounds or CSAB special rounds.

Some tips you should conside are:

• Participate in JoSAA Counseling: Make sure to register for JoSAA counseling and fill in your preferences strategically.
• Home State Quota: Your home state quota will significantly improve your chances in state-based institutes.
