Hi Aspirant!
According to previous year last round cutoffs the closing rank for OBC category is under 16-17k but your rank is far from that range.Hence your category is not playing any vital role in providing quota benifit.As well as you are from UP but the college in UP have high cutoff hence it would also be impossible for you to get the seat even using Home state quota.
I hope it helps.
