Hello

Your profile suggests that your home state is UP

With 27493 obc rank,

You have  low chance in any NITs.

For example,

When we go through previous year trend then ,

Under other state quota , closing rank for some of the nits for which closing rank goes low are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2020   :-

  • Nit nagaland ,Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology) :-  15340 obc rank

  • National Institute of Technology AgartalaProduction Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology :- 15659  obc rank

  • National Institute of Technology, Surat:-Chemistry (5 Years, Integrated Master of Science):-16453 obc rank


You can verify the above at

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

So, to get a seat in NIT you should get at least around 15000 - 16000 OBC rank

But yes,

Some of the   government   engineering colleges in which you hold a chance on the basis of past year closing rank are listed below along with the link for their previous year cutoff :-

------) IK Gujral Punjab Technical University, Jalandhar:- https://www.careers360.com/university/ik-gujral-punjab-technical-university-jalandhar/cut-off

------) Jiwaji University, Gwalior:- https://www.careers360.com/university/jiwaji-university-gwalior/cut-off

-------) Rewa Engineering College, Rewa:- https://www.careers360.com/colleges/rewa-engineering-college-rewa/cut-off

-------) Engineering College Nowgong, Chhatarpur:- https://www.careers360.com/colleges/engineering-college-nowgong-chhatarpur/cut-off

This prediction of colleges is  based of past year data but  cut off or closing rank changes every year depending upon many factors like the number of students that give the examination, difficulty level of the JEE main  for different shifts etc so

Hi there,.

Unfortunately your category rank is too low to get you a seat at any good nit in the electrical engineering branch.

If you want to get electrical engineering in top NITs then you must score a percentile of 96+ in the jee mains next year,if you want to take a drop otherwise if you are looking for college this year only then you can use our college predictor tool to see various college options.
