Hello

With a 78.9995 percentile score in JEE Main and belonging to the OBC-NCL category has a chance of getting admission into an NIT.

Admission Chances for NITs:

1. Rank Estimation :

A 78.99 percentile in JEE Main corresponds to a Common Rank List (CRL) rank of around 2,00,000 to 2,50,000 (approximate).

For the OBC-NCL category , the category rank would be around 60,000 to 70,000.

2. NIT Cutoff Analysis :

The minimum OBC-NCL cutoff for NITs is usually around 85-90 percentile.

With a 78.99 percentile, it is very difficult to get a seat in NITs , even in lower branches.

However , some low-demand branches (like Biotechnology, Production Engineering etc.) in newer NITs might be possible in spot rounds or home-state quotas.

Hope this gives you the clarity you need.
