NITs:
Very low chance for core branches (CSE, ECE, etc.), even in lower NITs. Cutoffs for EWS category in NITs are usually under 15,000 EWS rank.
IIITs:
Slight chance in newer IIITs for non-core branches like Mechanical or Civil, but still difficult for CSE.
State Quota:
If you're from a state with home quota in an NIT, you may get better chances in spot rounds.
