I had got 140000 rank in open category in jee mains My caste is OBC can i get a free seat in a nit or iiit college?
With a rank of 140,000 in JEE Main under the OBC category, getting a free seat (i.e., a fully funded or government-subsidized seat) in a top NIT or IIIT is unlikely, especially in popular branches like Computer Science or Electronics.
However, here are some possibilities:
1. NITs and IIITs:
- You might have a chance in newer NITs or IIITs or in less popular branches (like Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical) in some NITs.
- The home state quota can provide some advantage, particularly in NITs closer to your home state.
2. Government Funded Institutes (GFTIs):
- GFTIs typically have higher cutoffs than NITs but may have a chance for you in branches with lower demand.
3. Fee Waivers or Scholarships:
- Some private colleges or lesser-known government colleges offer fee waivers or scholarships based on your JEE Main rank.
Recommendations:
- Participate in counseling: Explore options in the CSAB Special Rounds or state counseling.
- Consider private colleges that offer scholarships based on your JEE Main rank.
