Hello,
If you are under home state category for NIT Silchar then with 17170 rank you can surely get Mechanical Engineering branch but for that you would have to wait for 6-7 rounds of counselling.
But if you are not eligible for home state quota then 17170 would not help you to make it to Mechanical engineering in NIT Silchar.
Hope this will help.
Thanks.
