Hello Aspirant,

Congratulations for your result. 42000 rank is a good score.

In order to get a seat in NITs, you need to score at least 93+ percentile as per past year trends.

Thus, with this much rank, chances are very high for NITs. It is quite difficult to get top NITs in top branches but yes you can get few north eastern NIT colleges.
