Hello

This difficult to predict as cut off keeps changing every year  depending upon various factors like

----------) number of students/ candidates  that appeared in the  jee main exam,

-----------) number of available seats,

-----------) jee main examination difficulty level.

-----------) branch preference by different candidates

-----------) the category you belong etc.


But yes,

When we go through previous year trend then ,

Under other state quota , closing rank for some of the lower nits ( northeast) for which closing rank goes low are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2020   :-

B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN

Apply to Amity University Noida B.Tech Admissions 2026

---------) NIT Nagaland :- Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering  :- 8007 EWS rank


---------) National Institute of Technology Agartala:- production engineering :- 8629 ews rank


You can verify the above at

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

So, even to get a seat in lower NITs( north east - 7 states) , you need at least around 8.6k EWS rank

Thus,

  • with your rank, chances for even North east NITs is extremely low.
