Hello Aspirant,

At first I would like to inform you that since you're a student of reserved (SC) cateogory, you somehow  have managed  to make yourself qualified for JOSSA Counselling to apply in several topmost NITs and IIITs.

However now directly coming to the point that as we all have known to the fact that the National Testing Agency (NTA) has not released the cut-off marks for the particular NITs and IIITs, so it's quite hard for us to tell about the precise cut-off marks of those institutions. Nevertheless according to our assumption and after thoroughly comparing your rank with the previous year's (2019) details, it can be estimated that despite being SC category candidate, with your this percentile it's one type of impossible to get chance in the renowned and topmost NIITs and IIITs; but there's a little hope for the low-esteemed NITs in India like NIT Meghalaya, NIT Manipur, NIT Mizoram, NIT Sikkim, NIT Raipur, NIT Srinagar etc through Home State qouta (i.e. iff you belong to the respective states of these institutions, then only you can grab a seat in these colleges). You can also check the previous year's cut-off information of top NITs and IIITs through the following links:

https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-cutoff-for-top-nits

https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-cutoff-for-top-iiits

One point should be added here that your rank and percentile is perfectly suitable for many State Government Engineering colleges and top Private colleges, so hope that you've already applied for the State Level Counselling procedure which has already started.

You can also check your possibilities of getting admission through JoSSA by the Careers360 JEE MAIN college predictor tool:

So don't get panic. Wish you all the best.

Hi Aspirant!

According to previous year last round cutoffs the closing rank of lowest IIIT with lowest branch is under 9k under the other state quota.Hence you can not get any seat in NIT OR IIIT with other state quota but you can try your luck with HOME State quota or with CSAB special counseling for better chances.

You can follow these Career360's articles for a better understanding of cutoffs.
