Hello Shikhar,

With a rank of 74 in the OBC-NCL (PWD) category in JEE Main, your chances of getting into NIT Warangal for the Computer Science Engineering (CSE) branch are quite limited. NIT Warangal is one of the top NITs, and typically, the cutoff for CSE is significantly higher, often around the top ranks of the category.

Recommendations for JoSAA Counseling

1. Look for Other NITs : Consider applying to other NITs where the cutoff might be lower. Some NITs that have been known to have slightly lower cutoffs for CSE in previous years include:

   • NIT Surat
   • NIT Raipur
   • NIT Jamshedpur
     
     

2. Consider Other Branches : If you're flexible, consider applying for other branches of engineering at NIT Warangal or other NITs where your rank may secure a seat.

   Tips for Counseling

• Explore Preferences : During the counseling process, list your preferences strategically. Start with NITs you are likely to get into and branch out to other colleges.
  
  
• Prepare for Multiple Options : If your primary choice isn’t available, have backups in mind. This will help ensure you secure a seat in a reputable institution.

Ultimately, it's important to check the specific cutoffs for the current year once the JoSAA counseling begins. This will give you the most accurate picture of your admission possibilities.
