Hello,

Your overall expected rank is expected to be in between 470580 - 529000. You can check the expected rank using our JEE Main rank predictor tool

Last year the qualifying cut off for JEE Main for SC category was 50.1760245 percentile. This year it is expected to be in between 50-55 percentile. Since you have secured just above the cut off percentile you do not have chances to get seat in NIT, IIIT, GFTI. Admission in to IIT is based on merit in JEE Advanced. To get seat in NIT/IIIT/GFTI you need to score minimum 92-94 percentile or above considering the previous year cut off.

You may qualify in JEE Main and appear for JEE Advanced so you can prepare for JEE Advanced if you wish to get admission in to IIT. Cut off changes every year depending on the total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination and total number of seats available etc.
