Hello there,

With a 76 percentile in JEE Main, securing a seat in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be challenging, especially in top-tier institutions. Here's a general outlook:

1. Top NITs and IIITs : It is unlikely that you'll get a seat in the CSE AI branch in top NITs or IIITs with this percentile. These branches usually have higher cutoffs.
   
   

2. State Engineering Colleges : You may have a chance in state engineering colleges or newer institutions where the cutoffs are lower.

3. Private Engineering Colleges : Private engineering colleges might have a better chance for CSE AI with your percentile, especially those with management or NRI quotas.
