Hi,

If you’re from the OBC category and aiming for Civil or Electrical Engineering in NITs, here’s a quick idea:

To get a seat in decent NITs, your JEE Main rank should ideally be between 40,000 to 70,000. The exact rank depends on the NIT you're targeting, your home state, and how competitive the branch is (Electrical is a bit tougher than Civil in most cases).

For example:

• You might need around 50k–60k rank for NIT Patna or Raipur.

• For top NITs like Warangal or Trichy, it’s much tougher—you’ll need a much lower rank, maybe around 20k–30k for OBC.

Hope this helps!
