With a CRL rank of 3,46,141 and EWS rank 48,597 in JEE Mains, your chances of getting a seat in an NIT through JoSAA counselling are very low, especially in core branches like CSE, ECE, or Mechanical, even in the lower ranked NITs.
In most NITs, EWS closing ranks for general category students from Home State quota are usually within 20,000 to 30,000 (EWS rank). So at 48,597 EWS rank, it’s unlikely to get a seat in the regular JoSAA rounds.
However, you still have options:
You can try for spot rounds or vacant seat rounds if held later (CSAB Special Rounds), where cutoffs go slightly lower
You can also look at private engineering colleges or state-level counselling in Bihar like BCECE
If you’re open to other branches or lesser known colleges, or wish to try again next year with better preparation, that’s a good plan too
