JEE Main 2026: College Predictor | Official Question Papers
New: Apply to Multiple B.Tech Colleges Through Free 1:1 Counselling
Comprehensive Guide: IIT's | NIT's | IIIT's | Foreign Universities in India
Hello Dear Student,
With a
CRL rank around 2.29–2.30 lakh
, the most important thing is your
OBC-NCL category rank
. The colleges you can get vary a lot depending on whether your OBC rank is 30k, 50k, 70k, etc.
Based on previous counselling trends, getting CSE or AI/ML in top NITs, IIITs, or DTU/NSUT is unlikely at this CRL rank. However, you may still have opportunities in:
- Newer or lower-demand IIITs (depending on your OBC rank)
- Some GFTIs
- State government colleges through home-state quotas
- Private universities that accept JEE Main scores
Some institutions and categories of colleges worth exploring include:
- IIIT Dharwad (lower-demand branches may be more realistic than CSE)
- IIIT Bhagalpur
- Assam University
- Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology
- Lovely Professional University
- Chandigarh University
- Amity University
For CSE/AI-ML specifically , your best chances are often:
- State counselling (if your state has reservation benefits).
- CSAB special rounds after JoSAA.
- Private universities that admit through JEE Main scores.
Hope it helps!
