Hello Aspirant,

With an OBC rank of 71,000, CRL rank of 2,00,000, and percentile of 85.87, you have very limited chances in top NITs or IIITs, especially in popular branches like CSE, ECE, or Mechanical. You can look into the following options:

1. NITs: NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Arunachal Pradesh, NIT Sikkim. You may get lower-demand branches like Civil, Biotechnology, or Chemical.
2. Odisha State Colleges: VSSUT, Burla and CET Bhubaneswar. These admit through OJEE or JEE Main scores and may offer better options due to home state quota and green card benefits.
3. Private Colleges via JEE Main Score: KIIT Bhubaneswar (through KIITEE but JEE scores sometimes considered), IIIT Bhubaneswar (takes JEE Main rank in counselling)
