No you can't get into the NITs. Since your percntile is 45 . That is very low. Your Mark's range is 20-40 Marks out of 300. You can see the Last year( 2019) cutoff for jee mains

General- 90 percentile.

OBC- 85 percentile

ST/SC- More than 70 percentile

Hello,
As you have scored 45 percentile in JEE Mains, your rank would be more than 5 lakhs in the common rank list. Even your SC category rank would be very high. The cutoff for JEE Mains for SC category is around 54-55 percentile. So you won't be able to qualify for JEE Mains to be eligible for admissions into NITs IIITs and GFTIs.

You can go for some top private engineering colleges in West Bengal such as
  • Institute of Engineering and Management, Kolkata (IEM)
  • Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata.
  • Narula Institute of Technology, Kolkata.
  • JIS College of Engineering, Kolkata.
  • Guru Nanak Institute of Technology, Kolkata.
  • Adamas University, Kolkata.

Hi Gaurav,

You have obtained 45 percentile in JEE Main and you belong to SC category. See considering the previous year percentile vs rank analysis your common Rank list (CRL) rank would be 6,75,000 approximately and the SC category rank would be 54,000 approximately. I am bound to say that this is not a good rank even for a SC category candidate. You would not be getting NITs, most probably. However, to check your chances, if any based on this rank and percentile you can use our college predictor tool by clicking on the following link: https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-college-predictor?ici=cp-listing_engineering&icn=JEE-Main-College-Predictor
