Hi Yash,

The rank of 5874 in EWS category is good and you genuinely have exposure to some of the good NIT branches especially Electronics & Mechanical Engineering.

Some of the colleges you may consider are:

  • NIT Trichy
  • NIT Jaipur
  • NIT Surathpur
  • NIT Allahabad

You may also look for good private colleges like VIT, MIT and BITS.

ALL THE BEST!

Hello Yash Goyal,

First of all, Congratulations for this great achievement , You have done great in advance (with having 99 Percentile score among 1.1 million candidates) . With an EWS rank of 5874 in JEE Advanced, you can likely aim for top level IIT's, NIT's or State level colleges. This range of institutions could offer opportunities in fields like computer science, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering, among others. Below I have mentioned best options that you should choose at your rank,

  • IIT Kanpur - civil engineering
  • IIT Kharagpur -  economics, civil, chemical, mechanical (dual)
  • IIT Madras - civil, aerospace (dual)
  • IIT Roorkee - Civil, chemical, economics (5 year)

And many more. You can check out the below mentioned link for further more colleges,

My opinion,

  1. Don't think on about new IIT's (unless u are interested in a particular branch)
  2. Old IIT any day
  3. Choose according to your preference (branch or college/stay near or far from home)

Hope this will help you.
