Hello student,

Securing a seat at an NIT with a rank of 152619 in JEE Mains 2024 (OBC category) is challenging. Here's why:

  • High Competition: NITs are one of the top institutions in India, and admissions are highly competitive there.

  • OBC Cutoff Trends: OBC cutoffs for NITs can range from several thousand to well above 1 lakh depending on the specific branch and NIT.

At your rank, it might be difficult to get into a top NIT for coveted branches like CSE (Computer Science Engineering) or ECE (Electronics and Communication Engineering).

However, there are still possibilities:

  • Less Competitive Branches: Explore branches that might have lower cutoffs for the OBC category. This could include some branches of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or even some newer branches.

  • Newer NITs: Newer NITs might have slightly lower cutoffs compared to the well-established ones. Researching these options might be beneficial.
