Hi aspirant,

You have obtained 1,60,000 rank in JEE Main and belong to EWS Category. I am bound to say that with such rank it is very difficult or no for you to get admission in NITs or IIITs. However, you could get some good private colleges or you should participate in state counselling for getting admission in state government engineering colleges. You can predict your college and branch options based on this rank by using the JEE Main college predictor tool by clicking on the following link: https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-college-predictor?icn=QnA&ici=qna_answer

Hope it helps you. All the best.

Dear student,

As you are a general category student and have secured 160000 rank in jee mains , then sorry you will not get any nits or iiits. As the competition level is increasing day by day and this statement applies mainly for general category students, so for getting a seat in nits from general category, your rank must be roughly under 30000.
Even from your ews category you cannot get any nits or iiits.

But if you belong from home state of some lower nits then by applying you home state quota, you can get nit mizoram, nit sikkim, nit manipur, etc by your general category rank.

Other wise there is no chance that you can get any college. Also the chances ate getting top private colleges are hard or nearly impossible like, you cannot get iem kolkata or bit mesra, etc.

So better try at some other state colleges or private institutions like kalinga institute of industrial technology or cv raman global university as many low rankers can easily get admission in these private colleges.
