I got 36657 obc rank in jee mains 2019 can I get any nit or iiit

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

Hi Praveen,

With this rank, you have to compromise with your branch but you will get some lower NITs and lower IIITs. However, you will not be able to get core branches in these. Moreover, there is a chance you might get a branch like civil in your home state. You could also apply for IIIT Allahabad instrumentation engineering.

Following NITs might be suitable for you along with your home state NIT.

• NIT SRINAGAR(UK)
• NIT SIKKIM
• NIT MANIPUR

Comment your doubts, if any.

Thank You.

Hey Praveen,

CONGRATULATIONS on Qualifying Jee Mains. Yes You Can Try For IIIT. I'm not sure about NIT but surely you can try to opt for IIIT as most people generally run for NITs so seats are Vacant in Some IIIT. Another thing is Even If you get a New NIT Or IIIT go for it. You have to go through several counselling Also Cuz Still you know there are many people ahead of you so if you take a risk you might end up getting into IIIT in Spot Round.

Best of Luck
