Hello Swetashree,

With an overall rank of 17,000 and an EWS category rank of 1,764 , you have a decent chance of securing admission in good colleges, especially in NITs , IIITs , or GFTIs through the JoSAA counseling process.

Here’s a breakdown of your chances:

1. NITs (National Institutes of Technology):

• You might be able to get branches like Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, or Electrical Engineering in newer NITs.
  
  
• For more competitive branches like CSE, ECE, or IT , you may get a seat in newer or lower-ranked NITs.
  
  2. IIITs (Indian Institutes of Information Technology):
  
  
• You have a good chance of getting branches like ECE, IT, or Software Engineering in some of the newer IIITs.
  
  3. GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes):
  
  
• You have a higher chance of getting admission to good branches like ECE, Mechanical, or Electrical in GFTIs.
