hello aspirant,

With the above mentioned percentile score in JEE mains in SC category, and according to the previous year JEE mains Analysis, you will have less chances of getting good NIT's as the required minimum rank for SC students for good NIT's is around 4k-5k rank in JEE mains.

But do not worry as you can get many other colleges other than NIT's. These will be state level Engineering colleges and private colleges. Some colleges that you can get are as follows :

1) ICT Mumbai - Institute of Chemical Technology

2) NSIT - Netaji Subhas University of Technology

3) DTU - Delhi Technological University (DCE)

4) IIIT Delhi - Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology

5) Chandigarh College of Engineering and Technology

Hi

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 nits for which closing rank goes low are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2021 for sc category  :-


------------------) National Institute of Technology, Andhra Pradesh :- Metallurgical and Materials Engineering :- 9135 sc rank


------------------) NIT, Raipur :- Bio Medical Engineering :- 9446 sc rank



- -----------------) National Institute of Technology Agartala :- Physics (5 Years, Bachelor of Science and Master of Science (Dual Degree)):- 10530 sc rank


You can check the same at its official website for which link is given below:-

JOSAA 2021 cut off :- https://josaa.nic.in/Counseling/seatallotmentresult/currentorcr.aspx

So, to get a seat in NITs, you need at least around 9k -10k sc rank

  • With your rank, chances are low for NITs
