Hi aspirant

10% reservation is given to GENERL-EWS section.

There are exactly 26,673 seats in NITs/IIITs and GFTIs at present.So if you take 10% reservation then only 2667 seats are for EWS category.

If your rank in ews category is 8,973 then you might not get seats in any of the NITs.

You can apply to other college except NITs/IIITs/GFTI .You have chances you might get that.For that you need to apply for state counselling.

You can use college predictor tool to predict you colleges based on your score.Visit here:
