i got 71 percentile & my crl rank is 438586 & category rank is about 29k can i get any nit or iiit?
With
71 percentile (CRL rank 438k)
, getting into
NITs or top IIITs is very hard
. Even for reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC), your rank is likely too low for most branches.
Your Options:
-
State Colleges : Try state-level engineering colleges (like JNTU, DTU) using exams like MHT CET, TS EAMCET , or WBJEE .
-
Private Colleges :
-
VIT, SRM, LPU : Take their entrance exams (VITEEE, SRMJEEE) – easier to crack.
-
-
Improve Rank :
-
Drop a year, study harder, and retake JEE Main 2026 for a better rank.
Other Paths :
-
Diploma + Lateral Entry : Do a diploma, then join B.Tech directly in 2nd year.
-
BCA/B.Sc : Switch to computer applications/science and later do MCA/M.Tech.
Next Step :
-
Apply for state counseling (like TS EAMCET for Telangana colleges).
-
Check private college deadlines (VITEEE, etc.).
-
Talk to a counselor for backup plans.
Don’t lose hope – many great engineers come from state/private colleges too!
