Hello Aspirant,

Since you have not mentioned the name of NIT so it's quite difficult to guide you with an accurate information but however as you have mentioned that you belongs to SC category so according to the latest cut-off or closing rank analysis if your SC rank is under 5,000 then you can get top NITs but if your SC rank is under 10,000 then also you can get NITs but lower or average NITs such as NIT Hamirpur, NIT Goa, NIT Silchar and so on. If we talk about your AIR then it should be under 40,000. And also note that here is nothing about night seat but yes there are some NITs where evening shift is conducted and also there is different in cut-off ranks for different categories.

You can check out the closing rank of NITs from different categories from the official website of JOSAA which is given below :-
