Can I get into Nit with 50 percentile under St category?

Hi

This difficult to predict the marks/percentile / rank you require in JEE mains to get into NITs etc as closing rank keeps changing every year  depending upon various factors like

----------) number of students/ candidates  that appeared in the  jee main exam,

-----------) number of available seats,

-----------) jee main examination difficulty level.

-----------) branch preference by different candidates

-----------) the category you belong etc.

But yes,

When we go through previous year trend then ,

Under other state quota , closing rank for some of the nits for which closing rank goes low are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2021 for sc category  :-

------------------) National Institute of Technology, Manipur:-civil engineering :-  16470 obc rank

------------------) National Institute of Technology, Mizoram :- civil engineering :-  16651 obc

------------------) NIT, Raipur :- Bio Medical Engineering :- 3776 st rank

------------------) National Institute of Technology Agartala :- physics (5 Years, Bachelor of Science and Master of Science (Dual Degree)):- 4432 st rank

• NIT Mizoram ,civil engineering :-   2975 st rank

• Nit nagaland ,Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering :- 3086 st rank

• National Institute of Technology Agartala,    Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering:- 3521 st rank

So, to get a seat in NITs, you need at least around 9k -10k sc rank, and for that you should target at least around 85 percentile to be on the safer as per past year trends

Thus, with 50 percentile chances for NITs is extremely low
