Hi

With 1.8 lakh rank, your chances of getting a decent college like NITs is negligible under open state considering you from general category, but if you have home state quota then you may have chances in some of the lower nits like

• NIT Manipur
• NIT Sikkim
• NIT Arunachal Pradesh:- for example, 306853 was closing rank for general category in 2019 for electrical engineering under home state

For this you can refer to our page for which link is provided below

But if you don't have home state quota then to be honest you cannot get a seat with 1.8 lakh rank in any good government Engineering College , you may have some chance in decent private colleges accepting JEE main. So, to have a clear picture of the colleges in which you have chances and to get the complete list of colleges in which you have chances on the basis of the category you belong to your home state etc, you can go through our jee main college predictor at
