Hi,

You said your category rank is 27k. I am afraid your chances of getting into any of the NITs or IIITs is pretty low, because your sc rank is too high. And you can understand that reserved seats are limited in number in these institutions.

But if you have a home state quota in any of the lower NITs then you might have a chance of securing a decent branch in one of them. For example, NIT Meghalaya accepted till SC rank 27k for Mechanical and 39k for EEE under HS quota last year.

Even you can predict your college on the basis of your JEE Main rank using the JEE Main 2022 college predictor - https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-college-predictor?utm_source=qna&utm_medium=jee_cp
