Hello

Making  prediction is difficult as  cutoff  depends upon various factors like :-

-----------) number of students/ candidates  that appeared in the  jee main exam,

-----------) number of available seats,

-----------) jee main examination difficulty level.

-----------) the branch you want,

-----------) the category you belong etc.

-----------) your rank in jee main


But yes,

When we go through previous year trend then

Under other state quota , closing rank for some of the nits for which closing rank goes low are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2020   :-

---------) NIT Nagaland :- Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering  :- 8007 EWS rank

---------) NIT Raipur :- biotechnology :- 8096 ews rank

---------) National Institute of Technology Agartala:- production engineering :- 8629 ews rank


You can check previous year cut off at

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

So, to get a seat in NIT you should get at least around 8600 ews rank i. e around 95 percentile.

Thus,

  • With your percentile, chances for NITs is low .


This prediction of colleges is  based of past year data but  cut off or closing rank changes every year depending upon many factors like the number of students that give the examination, difficulty level of the JEE main  for different shifts etc so
