Thanks for A2A bhai

Well firstly it is a worth asking a question. 

Let's analyze what you'll NIT's/IIIT's you can expect a seat. In majorly no IIIT's you get at this rank and in regards to NIT's you might get a seat in NIT silchar or NIT dispur or might be at NIT sikkim. 

But I wouldn't recommend you to join these NIT's

Reason

1. No permanent campus has been built uptill now and these colleges faces tremendous shortage of quality professors which makes the life of students more miserable.

2. They quite new NIT's so they struggle in building their repution in the engineering industry so placements get slacked or weak in comparison to the old and well established NIT's

3. You will also be in a location disadvantage and hence you might feel excluded (though this is very subjective)

Now what can you do!

  • Prepare for the state exams well. Their are ample of colleges which have comparable or even better reputation than the newer or the struggling NIT's. Eg - IET lucknow would be preferred over NIT silchar at any day. Also for perparing state exams, it would be best if you solve previous year papers of that particular state exams rigrously. This would be more than enough
  •  I would strongly recommend you to give BITSAT and prepare well for it. Yes! and don't be reluctant about it. It is a very unpridictible exam and with a good one month practise you can score over 300. Yes BITS Goa is far better than any of the NIT (apart from top 5 NIT's)
  • Also if you are a X11 recently appeared student then I would strongly recommend you to have a drop, prepare religiously for the exam and with one year mind-heart dedicated preparation you can crack your dream IIT. ps - I've a similar rank like your's in my first attempt and then got 8300 in my second attempt ;)
  • At the end, for now I would recommend you to give GGSIPU,UPTU and WBJEE.

feel free to ask for any further query

HELLO! CHIRAG

FIRT OF ALL ITS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET NIT OR IIT IN THIS RANK. YOU CAN WAIT TILL SPOT ROUND THEN MAY BE YOU GET

1) BIOTECH 

2) PLASTIC OR METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING.

SO IF YOU HAVE INTEREST IN THESE ENGINEERING THEN OPT OTHERWISE CHOOSE OTHER COLLEGES AS YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND TALENT GIVE YOU GOOD PLACEMENT.

DEGREE IS JUST FOR NAME. ITS ALL ABOUT TALENT. BE DETERMINED

ALL THE BEST.
