Alright, thanks for clearly sharing your details.
Let's break it down carefully:
You have:
-
JEE Mains Percentile : 89.84
-
CRL Rank : ~150000
-
OBC-NCL Rank : ~50000
-
Home State : Andhra Pradesh
-
Gender : Male
-
Category : OBC-NCL
Now, coming to your question:
1. Can you get IIT?
-
No , not through JEE Mains alone.
-
To get into IIT , you must qualify JEE Advanced (and your JEE Mains percentile should have been much higher, usually 90+ percentile only to be eligible).
Even if eligible, with this performance, admission into IITs won’t be possible because IITs require very high JEE Advanced ranks .
2. Can you get into NIT?
-
Yes, possible , but not for top branches like CSE, ECE in top NITs.
-
You have good chances in NITs for lower branches like:
-
Mechanical
-
Civil
-
Metallurgy
-
Chemical Engineering
-
Production Engineering
-
-
Some newer NITs or lower-ranked NITs may offer you CSE/ECE also if you are lucky with category seat and home state quota.
With Home State (AP) quota and OBC category, chances are decent in:
-
NIT Andhra Pradesh (good chance for lower branches, slim chance for CSE/ECE)
-
NIT Puducherry (Home state quota doesn't apply here, but seats are sometimes available for AP students)
-
NIT Goa, NIT Sikkim, NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland — You can get good branches because these are less competitive.
3. Expected Branch Possibility
-
In NIT Andhra Pradesh (your home NIT), you may get:
-
Mechanical
-
Electrical (possible)
-
Civil (likely)
-
Metallurgy / Material Science (high chance)
-
-
CSE or ECE at NIT AP will be difficult but not 100% impossible (depends on vacancy and spot round).
4. Other Good Options
If you don’t get into NITs or want CSE branch, then:
-
IIITs (newer IIITs like IIIT Kurnool, IIIT Bhagalpur) may give CSE at your rank.
-
Private good colleges like SRM, VIT, Shiv Nadar, Amrita University are also open if you want CSE.
Conclusion:
-
IIT admission not possible .
-
NIT admission is possible , but branch may not be top ones like CSE/ECE.
-
Lower branches (Mech, Civil, Chemical) at newer NITs very much possible.
-
IIITs and private colleges good backup options for CSE branch.
