Hello Vishal,

With 70 percentile in JEE Mains and OBC category, your approximate CRL rank would be around 2.5 to 3 lakh , and your OBC rank might fall between 80,000 to 1,00,000 (this can vary slightly). Based on this, getting admission into top NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs for core branches like CSE or ECE is difficult, but you still have some decent options:

You can prefer the following types of colleges:

• State Government Engineering Colleges

  • Many states like Rajasthan, Maharashtra, MP, UP, and Haryana accept JEE Main scores for their counselling (like MP DTE, Haryana HSTES, etc.). You have better chances in your home state quota .

• Private Colleges with Good Reputation

    • Shiv Nadar University

    • UPES Dehradun

    • LNCT Bhopal

    • Galgotias University
      
      

• Colleges under CSAB Special Round

  • Participate in CSAB special round after JoSAA; sometimes lower-rank students get seats in GFTIs or lesser-known NIT branches (like Civil, Metallurgy, or Biotechnology).
    
    

• State-Level Counselling Based on JEE Score

  • If your state accepts JEE score for B.Tech admissions, you may get a seat in a government college using your category rank .
    
    Tips:

• Choose colleges where you get a full-time B.Tech degree and decent placement records.

• Consider branches other than CSE if you're open to other options like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, etc.

• Be ready to appear for spot rounds or management quota seats in private colleges if needed.
