Hello Adithya,

NTA has released the JEE Mains cutoff.The cutoff score based on paper 1 for SC candidates is 54.0128155.Now the cutoffs are difficult to predict as they are based upon several factors.Based upon your rank and under home quota you have got quite less chances for admission in NIT Trichy for civil engineering.Regarding the other branches you also have less chances in them.

You should fill in your choices for other government and private colleges in the counselling rounds where you have better chances.

Hi,

JOSAA counselling provides the students admission for NIT, IIIT, GFTI and IIT. Now, the college gives the seats on the basis of general rank and not category rank, so I won't be able to tell exactly about what branch you will get, but I'm pretty sure that for SC category the seats for civil close at  1467 rank. And I believe your general rank comes at around 1 lakh i guess. which will make it very difficult to get admission.

You may check the below list for other government colleges or you may the college predictor to find a suitable college for you.

Hey Aditya,

Congratulations on qualifying JEE-MAINS. As per you Score you and reservation you can get GFTIs/IIITs and New NITs. But tell you about a specific college is not right. As it depends on how many students give Interest in that college. Which makes cutoff. Get high or low. So as you wish of civil branch. Your chances are good. As nowadays more core branches have lesser cutoff.

Here is the link of college predictor.

Hello,
According to your category rank, there are no chances of getting trichy in any department as it is the best nit and takes the top ranked nits.
But with this rank you can get sone of the other nits like nit dgp in lower department and if you want good branches then you can go for north eastern nits like nit sikkim,manipur etc.
Here is the jee main college predictor.

Hello Adithya,

Considering last year's cutoff I am sorry to tell you that it is very tough for you to get admission in National Institute of Technology[NIT], Tiruchirapalli in a civil engineering with your rank in SC category. But still you may get metallurgical and materials engineering in last round if you have home state quota. 

Good Luck
