Hello

Your profile suggests that your home state is MP

With 37k obc rank,

You have extremely low chance in any NITs in any branch

For example,

When we go through previous year trend then ,

Under other state quota , closing rank for some of the nits for which closing rank goes low are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2020   :-

  • Nit nagaland ,Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology) :-  15340 obc rank

  • National Institute of Technology AgartalaProduction Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology :- 15659  obc rank

    B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN

    Apply to MAHE, Manipal - B.Tech Admissions 2026

  • National Institute of Technology, Surat:-Chemistry (5 Years, Integrated Master of Science):-16453 obc rank


You can verify the above at

So, to get a seat in NIT you should get at least around 15000 - 16000 OBC rank

But yes,

-------) UJJAIN ENGINEERING COLLEGE:- https://www.careers360.com/colleges/ujjain-engineering-college-ujjain/cut-off
