Dear student,

As you have secured 79 percentile score in JEE mains 2020 from OBC category, then it is nearly impossible for you to get seat in any NIT or iiit.

Now if you belong from home state quota then still your chances of getting lower nits are very difficult.

But with 79 percentile it is sure that you can get any NIT or iiit if you belong from other state.

But still as per your percentile score you can try in HBTI Kanpur.
Or better go with some other private institutions like Kalinga Institute of Industrial technology or CV Raman Global University.

Also you can check out our JEE mains college predictor tool to get an appropriate prediction and  idea of the colleges that you can get on basis of JEE mains rank :-

Hello there ,
There are very less chances of yours getting admission to any NIT or GFIT with this rank.
You can personally check the coutoffs for various NIT's and GFIt's from the link given below

You can try to go for other Engineering entrance exams such as bitsat , vitee and other state level entrance exams.

You can also predict your collage according to your jee main rank and marks from the link below-
