Hello Aspirant,


Congratulations for your result. In order to predict the exact college first we need to calculate the exact rank. It is quite difficult to predict the exact rank as the trends changes every year because it depends on many factors like number of students appeared, shift, toughness, etc.


But we can predict your result based on the previous trends. With 73 percentile your CRL-AIR will be around 276210 - 310500 and your EWS rank will be around 14k. You can verify your rank by using our rank predictor tool which is given below:



In order to get a seat in NITs in EWS category, you need to score at least 92 percentile as per past year trends to get a lower branch and 97+ percentile to get a higher branch.


Thus, with 73 percentile, chances are very low for NITs.


If you want to check the chances of getting a college, you can go through our college predictor link which is given below:
