Hello Student,

A rank of 4970 sc rank is a bit low of a rank. The competition increases by the minute everyday, the need for scoring higher marks and scores is also higher. Hence, the top nits and IIITs would be tough to get into with this score. Also other Centrally Funded Technical Institutes ( CFTIs) such as the IITs also would be a bit tough.

You have mentioned that you belong to the sc category, the chances of you getting into some some of these universities are a bit more. There are some other universities into which you have a good chance of getting into.  Hence I would suggest you to apply for other universities.

Some other good universities with this rank would be:

1. SSN College of Engineering, Chennai

2. SASTRA Deemed to be University, Thanjavur

3. Andhra University, Andhra Pradesh

4. CBIT

5. Delhi university

6. Vasavi College
