Hello Aspirant,

See BC-E category has no reservation in NITs as it is a state level reservation provided in some states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana. But if your category is listed under central reservation list available on the official website of NCBC then you can choose your category accordingly. Otherwise your category would be considered as general/Unreserved for admission to NITs.

As we go through the latest cut-offs of 2021 then it shows that the closing CRL rank was around 35-40k for Mining Engineering branch in NIT Surathakal under Other state quota for general category female.

You can check out the latest cut-offs from the link given below :-

Now to secure such rank you should have your JEE-Main  score at least 130+ marks out of 300 and percentile against this should be around 97+.
