Hi

What is st category rank? Do let us know so that we can help you in a better way.

Anyway,

Your profile suggests that your home state is Telangana

It's quite difficult to predict because cutoff keeps changing every year depending upon various factors like :-

******number of students that appeared in the  jee main exam,

****** number of available seats,

****** performance of different students in the examination,

****** the category you belong etc.

But yes,

When we go through previous year trend then,


Under other state quota , closing rank for some of the lower nits for which closing rank goes low are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2020 for st category  :-

B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN

Apply to MAHE, Manipal - B.Tech Admissions 2026

  • NIT Mizoram ,civil engineering :-   2975 st rank

  • Nit nagaland ,Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering :- 3086 st rank

  • National Institute of Technology Agartala,    Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering:- 3521 st rank

You can check the same at

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

From above, it is clear that you need at least a rank of around 3500 st rank to get into an NIT .

So, you have chance in NITs only if your st rank is under around 3500 otherwise your chances are low.

This prediction is based of past year data but  cut off or closing rank changes every year depending upon many factors like the number of students that give the examination, difficulty level of the JEE main  for different shifts etc so
