With a JEE Main percentile of 94.3 , an Open rank of 85,451 , and an EWS rank of 12,127 , your chances for Electronics and Electrical Engineering (EEE) or related branches in IIITs and GFTIs are possible but limited to newer or less competitive institutes and branches.
General Category: Most IIITs have closing ranks for core branches (like CSE, ECE, EEE) well below 85,000 for the Open category. The cutoff for General category in IIITs typically ranges from 10,000 to 100,000, but for EEE or similar branches, closing ranks in newer IIITs may sometimes go up to 1,00,000 (https://www.collegedekho.com/articles/jee-main-cut-off-for-iiits/) (https://collegedunia.com/exams/jee-main/cutoff) .
EWS Category: With an EWS rank of 12,127, your chances improve slightly, but top and mid-tier IIITs will still be out of reach. You may have a chance in newer IIITs or for less popular branches if seats remain after higher preferences are filled (https://www.collegedekho.com/articles/jee-main-cut-off-for-iiits/) .
GFTIs generally have higher closing ranks than IIITs, especially for non-core branches. With your rank, you may have a chance for EEE or related branches in some GFTIs, particularly those with lower demand or in remote locations (https://www.shiksha.com/engineering/jee-main-exam-cutoff) (https://collegedunia.com/exams/jee-main/cutoff) .
Top IIITs and top branches are out of reach at your rank, but you may get EEE or similar branches in newer IIITs or GFTIs, especially in later rounds of JoSAA counselling.
Fill as many choices as possible during counselling to maximize your chances.
Cutoffs vary each year based on seat availability and applicant pool, so keep checking official JoSAA cutoffs after each round (https://www.collegedekho.com/articles/jee-main-cut-off-for-iiits/) (https://collegedunia.com/exams/jee-main/cutoff) .
Conclusion: You have a fair chance for EEE or related branches in some newer IIITs and several GFTIs, especially under the EWS category, but not in top institutes. Participate actively in JoSAA counselling and consider all available options.
