To get admission into NITs through JoSAA , you must:
Have qualified JEE Main .
Secure a rank within the closing cutoff for SC category (female quota helps too in some NITs).
Unfortunately, a rank of ~11.7 lakh is too high for getting a seat in NITs, even under the SC and female quotas. Typically, SC category closing ranks for NITs go up to:
B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN
Around 2.5 to 3 lakh (SC rank) for less preferred branches and NITs.
You can get admission in state government colleges through state-level counseling using your 12th marks or JEE rank with SC reservation.
Many private colleges offer direct admission with low JEE ranks. Examples:
Chandigarh University
Galgotias University
Amity, LPU, etc.
If you're technically JEE Main qualified , you can try CSAB special rounds , where leftover seats are filled—even with lower ranks.
If you're determined to get into a good government college, consider taking a drop year and preparing again for JEE 2026 with coaching and strategy. SC category has strong reservation advantage , and even 80–85 percentile can help get into NITs with the right strategy.
