Hello Shivanshu,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

As you say you have got 73 percentile, with this percentile if you belong to general category you have a very slim chance because NIT, Bhopal has a good name and their cutoffs are much on the higher side. But if you belong to reserve category and you also have state quota you might get a seat but you'll have to wait for the further rounds of counselling and also for the spot round of counselling.

But first see your interest in which branch you want to get admission or which field of engineering interests you . If you have interest for a particular brach than first choose your branch because for the rest of your college and work life depends upon that I'm not denying that good college doesn't matter that too matter but first I would suggest choose your interest.

Also one more thing do apply for other Universities entrances who conducts their individual entrance exams because this will help you in getting a wider look for the opportunities.

Hope this will help you.
