HELLO,

With a 12 lakh rank in JEE Mains it is very difficult to get a seat in NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs especially for the OC category because:

  • NITs and IIITs usually close around 2-4 lakh rank for the general category.

  • for top branches like CSE, ECE, the closing rank is even lower often under 1 lakh.

  • 12 lakh rank is quite far behind the usual cutoffs.

    But you still have options:

  • Private engineering colleges :
    many private colleges accept students based on JEE Main rank or even without it.

  • State counselling :
    Some state-level engineering colleges like in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra conduct their own counselling and don not require JEE rank.

  • Management quota- Private colleges also have management quota seats where rank does not matter much but the fees will be higher.

  • Diploma to degree
    another option is to do a diploma first and enter engineering in the 2nd year later.
