Dear aspirant,

You can get admission in lower NITs although chances are low, but you can apply for many GFTIs are you surely can get into it. Also if you live in North east India or Goa you can take benefit of home state and get admission in the respective NITs easily.

With an All India Rank of 159708 and an SC rank of 14598 in JEE Main 2025, you likely have a good chance of getting into a state-level college or a few of the lower-cutoff IIITs or GFTIs, but may struggle for top NITs or IIITs. It's important to remember that the specific chances depend on the cutoff ranks of each institution and the branch you're targeting.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Top NITs and IIITs:

These are unlikely at your All India Rank, even with your SC rank. Top NITs (like CSE/IT) typically require ranks below 5,000, and even other core branches might require ranks below 15,000.

IIITs and GFTIs:

Your rank could get you into some of the newer or lower-cutoff IIITs, or certain GFTIs. You may be able to get into branches like CSE (Data Science), IT, or AI/ML in some IIITs.

State-Level Colleges:

State-level colleges that accept JEE Main scores are more likely to be an option for you. Colleges like AAR Mahaveer Engineering College, Keshavgiri, are examples.

Using a College Predictor:

Utilize a college predictor tool like Careers360's JEE Main College Predictor to see which colleges you might have a reasonable chance of getting into based on your rank and the available seats.
