Dear Aspirant,

With a 54 percentile score though you have cleared the the cutoff but though the cutoff is 39 percentile it does not imply that everyone who had cleared the cutoff will get a NIT or IIIT.It just shows that you have cleared the first stage of exam and you are been selected to get a second chance to improve your score.With a 54 percentile getting a NIT will be a very tough task but you can still get into a descent private engineering college.So best of luck.
