Hi

Yes, you can definitely get admission in NITs on the basis of your rank in jee main irrespective of your age.

This is because,

There's no upper age limit for NITs. So, you won't face any problem due to your age.

Admission in nits is through jee main

For your reference,

Jee main eligibility criteria is given below-

---------------------------) Qualification required :- to be eligible  for JEE mains you need 10+2/equivalent qualification from a recognised board.

Course
