Hello Aspirant

With 77 percentile (General, Non-Home State) in JEE Mains , getting ECE in NITs or IIITs is very difficult as the cutoffs for these institutes are usually much higher (above 90 percentile for General).

Chances in NITs & IIITs:

1. NITs – Unlikely, even in lower NITs.
2. Top/Old IIITs – No chance for ECE.
3. Newer IIITs (Low Chances) – You may try in IIIT Agartala, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Bhopal, or IIIT Ranchi in later rounds or CSAB Special Rounds .

Better Alternatives:

• GFTIs (Government-Funded Technical Institutes) – Some may have ECE seats available.
  
  
• State Government Colleges – Check your state's JEE-based counseling.
  
  
• Private Colleges – Institutes like LNMIIT, Shiv Nadar, UPES, SRM, and MIT Pune offer ECE with JEE scores.

If ECE is your priority, re-attempting JEE in April for a higher percentile is a good option.

I would recommend you to use JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank or percentile.
