I am Ramanand got 94.06 percentile in jee Mains 2019 (CRL 66699) GEN-EWS Rank (8338) can get NIT or IIIT through GEN-EWS category

It depends upon the JEE Main and JEE Advance cut offs, If You manage to qualify the exam by achieving the cut off, You can apply for JOSAA Counselling. It should be noted the cut off for EWS/SC/ST/FEMALES/OBC category is lower than the general category

If you manage to qualify JEE Main Cutoff, You would be eligible for JEE Advance which is the intake exam for IITs as mentioned above.


However It is usually advised to fill the choices as per the preference of colleges and departments, for example CSE in NIT Trichy is your priority followed by CSE in NIT Warangal, you can fill CSE at NIT Trichy at serial number 1 and CSE at NIT Warangal at serial number 2 and so on and so forth. However to get any NIT, you must have qualified JEE Mains and to get any IIT, you must have qualifies JEE Advanced

But the previous cut offs of colleges should be taken in consideration, it is better to research over the cut off of colleges then make a preference list of colleges and fill accordingly

Hello,

As EWS category was introduced only this year a prediction is not possible about colleges you might get. But with EWS rank of 8,338 you have great chances to get into NITs and IIITs. In NITs you have an advantage as you can apply for Home State (HS) quota. You may not be getting top NITs but to medium quality institutes.

Hello Ramanand!

With your rank, you should be able to get into an NIT or IIIT!

All the best!
