Hi

hope you doing well

The cutoffs for NITs and IIITs usually close around 85-90 percentile for lower-demand branches.

With your percentile around 60-65, getting a seat in NITs or IIITs is unlikely through JoSAA.

If you're targeting colleges in Andhra Pradesh or Telangana, EAMCET (AP EAMCET / TS EAMCET) is a great option. Here's what you can consider:

• EAMCET has no negative marking , so it’s easier to boost your score.
• Many state-level engineering colleges accept EAMCET scores and offer good placement opportunities.
• If your goal is CSE or ECE, many state colleges through EAMCET offer these branches with lower competition compared to JEE.

Given your score of 55 marks in JEE Mains and EWS status:

NITs and IIITs may not be within reach through JoSAA. You can try for GFTIs, but chances are slim. Starting EAMCET preparation is a wise move, as you have better chances of securing a good branch in state-level engineering colleges.
