Hello Ipshita,
To get colleges like NIT, IIITs or GFTIs you have to first clear the JEE Main cutoff as per your category. If you have cleared the cutoff, then you will be JEE Main qualified and be eligible to get a seat through JoSAA counselling. Below I have provided 2019 JEE Main cutoff (percentile) category wise -
Better attend the JoSAA counselling and see which colleges and branches are you getting. Now, if by any chance you don't get a seat through JoSAA then you can apply for CSAB counselling through which you could be able to get a seat in NITs,IIITs,GFTIs,SFTIs if you are JEE Main qualified as per your category. CSAB counselling will begin after JoSAA counselling ends. Also, you could apply for private colleges and some other colleges those who take admission on the basis of JEE Main score. They may not participate in JosAA so you have to attend that respective counselling of the particular college.
