Hello Asish,

According to the previous data ,you have more changes of getting seat in the NITs.you can check the college that you are eligible  by using the college predictor which link has been given below and also  you have a good percentile to get the seat in good college,you can also predicate your rank by using the formula.,

(100-your percentile)*no.of students wrote the exam/100,for the january exam total no of students are 112679

then your rank is 13000

And also rank will be changed after the April exam due to number of students who attempt the April exam will be changed.The final rank will be given after the April exam.

Rank in JEE Main Paper 2 can be calculated by the formula:

Rank = (100-percentile)*(No. of students appeared for the examination)/100

As the no. of students appeared for Paper 2 are 112679, your rank will be around 13000. However as the no. of students in April changes, your rank will change according to that.

With this rank there are less chances of getting a NIT through open category but since you are from SC category, you have sufficient chances of getting into one of the Top NITs with Architecture branch.
