Hello Rehan,

With JEE CRL 849581 and OBC NCL 320274, admission to top NITs/IIITs for popular branches is unlikely.

Your best options are:

1. GFTIs: Some GFTIs, especially newer/remote ones, for less competitive branches (e.g., Civil, Biotech, Production, Mining). Check JoSAA/CSAB.
   
   
2. State Government Colleges: Various state engineering colleges in states like UP, MP, Odisha for less popular branches. Check their state-level counseling.
   
   
3. Private Colleges/Universities: Many private institutions accept lower JEE ranks.

Action: Participate in JoSAA/CSAB, research state counseling, and explore private college admissions. Be flexible with branch/location.

I would recommend you to use the JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hi!

With a CRL rank of 8,49,581 and OBC-NCL rank of 3,20,274 in JEE Main, it’s tough to get a seat in NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs through JoSAA counseling since the cutoff is usually much lower.

But don’t worry — you can still try for private engineering colleges that accept JEE scores like:

• Chandigarh University

• LPU (Lovely Professional University)

• Sharda University

• Amity University

• Galgotias University

Also, if you're from a particular state, check if your state counseling allows admission with JEE scores. Some state-level colleges have lower cutoffs.

If you're really focused on top colleges, you can also consider taking a drop year and preparing again for JEE.
