Hello there,

With a JEE Main rank of 22,728:

1. NITs/IIITs : You have a good chance of securing a seat in some of the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) or Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), though it might be in less sought-after branches or newer NITs. Your chances improve if you belong to a reserved category (OBC, SC, ST) and/or have home state quota advantages.
   
   

2. Free Seat (Government Quota) : A "free seat" typically refers to a seat with significantly reduced tuition fees under the government quota. You may qualify for such a seat in government-funded colleges, especially in your home state or in lesser competitive branches.
