Don't Miss: India's Best B.Tech Counsellors in your city - Book Your Seat
Hello Sridhar,
With an SC preparatory rank of 1715, you stand a reasonable chance of securing admission in an IIT through the preparatory course. The preparatory course is aimed at candidates who narrowly missed the cutoff for direct admission and belong to the reserved categories like SC, ST, or PwD. After completing this one-year course, you will be eligible for direct admission into the BTech program in the subsequent year.
Your chances of getting a seat will depend on the number of seats available, the specific IITs, and the branches that offer preparatory courses. IITs with higher intake or newer IITs may have more available seats for preparatory students, giving you a better opportunity. Make sure to attend the counseling sessions and follow the seat allocation process closely to see which IIT and branch you can secure a seat in.
