With a JEE Main 2025 SC category rank of 9958, getting **Computer Science (CSE)** in most NITs is difficult. However, you might get CSE in a few **newer or northeast NITs** under the SC category quota:
**Possible NITs for CSE (SC category):**
- NIT Mizoram
- NIT Nagaland
- NIT Meghalaya
- NIT Sikkim
- NIT Puducherry (home state quota helps)
- NIT Andhra Pradesh (possible in later rounds)
With a rank of 9958 in JEE Main under the SC category, you have a good chance of getting into a decent NIT for CSE. However, securing a seat in the very top NITs for CSE (like NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal) will be difficult. You should focus on NITs with closing ranks around or above 10,000 under the SC category for CSE.
Factors to Consider:
Top NITs:
The top NITs (like Trichy, Surathkal, Warangal) typically have very high cutoffs for CSE, even for SC candidates. Your rank may not be competitive for those institutions.
Middle-Tier NITs:
NITs like Jalandhar, Durgapur, and others with closing ranks around 10,000 - 15,000 for CSE under SC are more realistic options.
Other Branches:
Even if you don't get CSE in top NITs, you might be able to get into other good branches (like Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, etc.) in those same institutions.
North-East NITs:
Consider NITs in the North-East, as they tend to have slightly lower cutoffs.
Recommendation:
Consult Cutoff Trends:
Review the JEE Main cutoff trends for previous years to see the closing ranks for SC candidates in various NITs for CSE.
Explore JoSAA:
Familiarize yourself with the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) website, where the final seat allocation will be announced.
Be Realistic:
While CSE in top NITs might be challenging, you have a good chance of getting into a reputable NIT with a CSE program.
