Hi

With with 78  percentile

Your sc rank will be around 15,000.

Your profile suggest that your home state is West Bengal

But with this rank, you have extremely low chance to get a seat in any NIT

For example, In 6th round of josaa counselling 2020, 7802 was closing sc rank for NIT Durgapur under home state and it was for Metallurgical and Materials Engineering .

You can check the same at

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

Even lower NITs like nit agartala , under other state quota you have very low chances . For example In 6th round of josaa counselling 2020,  9207 was closing sc rank for NIT Agartala anandvas for production engineering

For previous year cut offs of top colleges like NITs, IIITs, GFTIs , you can refer our page at :-

IIITs:- https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-cutoff-for-top-iiits

GFTIs :- https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-cutoff-for-top-gftis

Or alternately you can visit  official website of josaa at

Above prediction of colleges is on the basis of past year data but  cut off/closing rank for colleges keeps changing every year depending upon many factors like number of students that appeared in the examination, difficulty level of the JEE main question paper for different shifts etc so
