With a JEE Main score of 70 marks, your percentile would likely be in the range of 87 to 92. For the EWS category, the qualifying percentile for JEE Advanced in 2024 was around 81.3. While the 2025 cutoffs might vary slightly, a percentile in the 87-92 range gives you a possibility of securing a seat in some NITs, especially the newer ones, or in other government-funded technical institutes (GFTIs). However, getting a Computer Science (CS) branch in a top NIT might be challenging at this score.

For your home state, Uttar Pradesh, there are several government engineering colleges that accept JEE Main scores. Some of the well-regarded ones include Madan Mohan Malaviya University of Technology (MMMUT) Gorakhpur, Harcourt Butler Technical University (HBTU) Kanpur, and Kamla Nehru Institute of Technology (KNIT) Sultanpur. The cutoff ranks for CS in these colleges will vary, and it's advisable to check the previous year's closing ranks for the EWS category to get an idea. Keep in mind that home state quota can improve your chances in these colleges.

To explore your options, you should participate in the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) counselling process after the JEE Advanced results are announced. This process involves online registration, choice filling (where you list your preferred colleges and branches), seat allotment based on your rank and choices, and document verification. It's crucial to fill in a wide range of choices, including NITs, IIITs, and other GFTIs, as well as government colleges in Uttar Pradesh, to maximize your chances of getting a suitable seat. You should also consider that cutoffs can change each year depending on various factors like the difficulty of the exam and the number of applicants.

I hope this helps.
