Hi

With 90 percentile


Your profile suggests that your home state is bihar and so you will be eligible for home state quota in NIT Patna but even under home state your chances are extremely low .

For example,

In 6th round of josaa counselling 2020, 39776  rank was closing rank for gender neutral for general category under home state in NIT Patna and it was civil engineering

B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN

Apply to Amrita University B.Tech 2026

Under other state quota even in lower NITs your chances are low

For example,

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

  • National Institute of Technology Sikkim, Civil Engineering :- 47412

  • National Institute of Technology, Andhra Pradesh, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering :- 47207

  • National Institute of Technology, Mizoram, Civil Engineering:- 49757

  • National Institute of Technology Agartala, Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering :- 50,010

You can check the same at

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

From above, it is clear that your chances for NITs are extremely low and you  need at least a rank of around 45,000 - 50,000 to get into an NIT . And to get a rank in this range, you need at atleast around 96 percentile  as per our rank predictor at

Hello,

According to your percentile your All India Rank would fall somewhere between 102300-115000. With this rank it is impossible for you to get a seat in any of the NITs. Since you will get seat under OS category and Cutoff for OS category candidates are very very High.


To check your rank by yourself please go through this link

But still you can do one thing, you can check the Cutoff of NIT of your Home state, like if you live in Rajasthan and you have domicile of Rajasthan then you can grab a seat in Malaviya National Institute of Technology.


As you haven't mentioned your Home State, I can't assume your home state, but chances are very very high that you will get a seat under HS category. Look for it. I am mentioning the official link of JOSAA, fill up the details and choose NIT and then Choose NIT of your home state, here you go-

If still you don't get a seat in NIT then you can see other eligible colleges according to your rank, just follow this link
