Hi

hope you doing well

Based on your 73 percentile in JEE Mains 2024 and EWS category, let’s calculate an approximate rank and discuss the possibility of getting into NITs.

So, your CRL (Common Rank List) rank is around 2,51,000.
Since you're under the EWS category, your EWS rank will be roughly 10-12% of CRL rank, i.e., around 25,000 - 30,000.

Core NITs (like NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal, etc.):
Getting popular branches (CSE, ECE, Mechanical) is difficult with this percentile.

Lower-ranked NITs and Newer NITs:
You might get branches like Civil, Metallurgy, or Environmental Engineering in newer NITs or NITs in the northeast (like NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, etc.).

Qualified for JEE Advanced 2024: Yes, you are eligible since EWS cutoffs tend to be a bit more lenient.

Getting an NIT: It’s possible but likely through less competitive branches or newer NITs.

Next Steps: Prepare for JEE Advanced if you're interested in IITs or keep a lookout for CSAB counseling for a better shot at an NIT seat.
