With a JEE Mains rank of 2,19,866 and SC category rank of 11,866, you have a fair chance to get into some NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs in lower-demand branches like Civil, Mechanical, or even CSE in newer or less competitive NITs (like NIT Mizoram, Meghalaya, etc.). You can also explore state-level colleges through home state quota and private universities. Keep backup options ready and apply through JoSAA and CSAB rounds for better chances. Choose wisely based on interest.

Hello,

With a JEE Main rank of 2,19,866 (General) and SC category rank of 11,866, your options for top NITs or IITs are very limited because their cutoffs are usually much better.

Based on previous years’ cutoffs, here are some points:

• For SC category, usually NITs and IIITs close their cutoff for SC ranks around 2,000 to 5,000 for popular branches. So 11,866 is quite high for those.

• You might get admission in some state-level engineering colleges, private universities, or lower-tier NITs with very less preferred branches.

• You could try for engineering colleges under the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) counselling for seats left vacant in lower-ranked colleges or branches.

Hope it helps !
