Hello Manashvi,

With a CRL rank of 332,172 and an EWS rank of 46,830 , it will be quite challenging to get into top government engineering colleges like NITs or IIITs for the Computer Science (CS) or CS allied branches in the JEE Mains counselling process.

Here are the key points:

1. NITs and IIITs :

   • For Computer Science and related branches (like IT ), the cut-offs are usually quite high, especially in the top NITs and IIITs . Based on your rank, you may not be able to secure a seat in these top-tier institutes.
     
     

   • You may still have a chance in lower-tier NITs or state-based engineering colleges under the EWS quota . But the CSE or IT branches may still be difficult to get.
     
     

2. Government Colleges via State Counselling :

   • Since you belong to EWS , you should also consider the State-level counselling (e.g., UPSEE for Uttar Pradesh, AP EAMCET for Andhra Pradesh, or MH CET for Maharashtra). These state-level exams often have lower cut-offs, and you may have better chances in the CS allied branches like Information Technology , Software Engineering , or Electronics .
     
     

   • Some state engineering colleges might have less competitive cut-offs than the NITs/IIITs, making them a better option for you.
     
     

3. Counselling Process :

   • JOSAA Counselling : You will need to participate in JOSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) for NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes).
     
     

   • State Counselling : Additionally, you should also appear in state-based counselling for local government engineering colleges, as they may have different cut-offs and quota systems.
     
     

4. Branch Alternatives :

   • If Computer Science is your primary goal, you can look for allied branches like Information Technology (IT) , Software Engineering , or Electronics and Communication that may have lower cut-offs.
