hi,
see in every nits 85% seats are reserve for domicile candidates, remaining 15% seats are fills based on all india counselling. now see cutoff score depends on certain factors like number of participants, questions difficulty level, seat matrix etc. however at this score you have very less chances for selection in nits even for your category.
so if you are also applying for jee main april session exam which would conducts on september , try to give better performance, score around 95 percentile or more to get fair chances in nits. however as per jee advance exam you have to appear in jee advance and must have clear the cutoff score of jee main to become eligible for jee advance exam.
hope you may understand.
Hi Vinayak,
You have obtained 78 percentile. Based on this rank your common Rank list (CRL) rank would be between 2,21,000 to 2,45,00 ( or rather more correctly 2,33,000 approximately).
You belong to SC category. Hence you have chance to join NIT and not IIT. This is because to get into IIT you will have to clear JEE Advanced. To know which branch and college you can based on this tank please check the link below:
All the best.
