I am a obc female candidate. for 157 marks in jee, can i get cse in nit

Hello there,

With 157 marks in JEE Mains under the OBC-NCL female category, it's a bit challenging to predict a seat in CSE at an NIT , as CSE is a highly competitive branch.

Based on Previous Trends:

• The closing ranks for CSE in NITs are typically very high, especially for top NITs (like NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, and NIT Surathkal), and for the OBC-NCL female category, the cutoffs tend to be higher than other categories.
  
  

• With 157 marks , you may fall around the rank range of 20,000-30,000 (approximate estimate). However, this can vary based on the specific NIT and the competition in that particular year.
  
  What You Can Expect:

• You may not be able to get CSE in top NITs with your marks, but there are chances for other branches of CSE (such as IT or ECE ) or CSE in newer NITs .
  
  

• Consider lower NITs or other branches in better NITs like NIT Puducherry , NIT Goa , etc.
  
  Next Steps:

• Participate in JoSAA Counseling : Ensure to participate in JoSAA counseling , as the exact cutoffs will be declared after the results.
  
  

• Consider Other Engineering Institutes : Explore private universities like VIT Vellore , SRM Chennai , and Manipal University , which offer CSE and have relatively flexible cutoffs.

Hello Dhivya,

with 157 marks in JEE Main as an OBC female candidate, your chances for CSE at top NITs like Trichy, Warangal, or Surathkal are slim.

however, you may get CSE in mid or lower tier NITs like NIT Nagaland, NIT Mizoram, or NIT Uttarakhand. cutoffs vary each year, so participate in all rounds and consider home state quota advantages if applicable.

Hi

It's difficult to say definitively whether you'll get CSE in an NIT with 157 marks as an OBC female candidate, as it depends on your overall JEE Main rank and the specific NITs you're applying to.

Thanks
