Hi there,

Hope you're doing well,now coming to your question as per the expected cutoff of jee mains 2021,you may qualify jee mains.On the basis of your percentile your rank may range somewhere around 385534 - 264383.

On the basis of above rank yes you may get some of the NITs,IIITs but the chances are less.Also with this rank you won't get any IT branches ,you'll get branches like chemical,mechanical etc.

Dear Aspirant,

with your secured percentile in JEE Mains Examination and the based on the cutoff analytics for the previous years, the chances for you to be able to secure a seat at any of the NITs and IIITs is less. Kindly do not be disheartened by this as there are still two more sessions of JEE Mains pending and you can try your best then.

In the meantime, given below are some of the other colleges you are eligible to secure a seat at,

  • Vidya Niketan College of Engineering, Maharashtra
  • KDK College of Engineering, Nagpur
  • Pillai College of Engineering, Mumbai
  • Sinhgad College of Engineering, Pune
  • Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala

No, with 60 Percentile you wont really get a seat in any NIT or IIIT in spite of being from SC Category. You need a CRL anywhere around 200k, a SC Rank 10k and a corresponding Percentile of 80, to have somewhat chances in securing a seat at one of the IIITs or NITs during Counselling. All the Best.
