Hi

Your profile suggest that your home state is Uttar Pradesh

With 78 percentile

Your obc rank will be around 80,000.

With above  rank, you have very low   chances in NITs  For example,

Your home state is UP so you will be eligible for home state quota in NIT Allahabad but even under state quota your  chances are very low in NIT Allahabad

B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN

Apply to VIT - VITEEE 2026

For instance, In 6th round of josaa counselling 2020, the closing rank for obc category in NIT Allahabad was 11478 obc rank under home state quota  and it was for biotechnology

Under other state also, your chances are very low.

For example, under other state quota closing rank for some of the lower NIT for OBC category is provided below as 6th josaa counselling 2020 :-

  • Nit Ap, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology) :- 14902  obc rank

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

  • National Institute of Technology Agartala    Production Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology :- 15659  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 OBC rank i. e around 95 percentile, while for good NITs you should target at least 98 percentile.

Above prediction of is on the basis of past year data but  cut off/closing rank for colleges keeps changing every year depending upon many factors like number of students that appeared in the examination, difficulty level of the JEE main question paper for different shifts etc
