Hello Aspirant,

As per the data you have mentioned in your question, the expected figure for you are :-


-->> CRL Rank - 245520 - 276000

-->> OBC Rank - 60000-70000


You can check out marks Vs CRL ranks Vs Percentile from the link given below :-

https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-marks-vs-percentile

Or

You can also use JEE-Main Rank Predictor to predict your rank :-


On the basis of above figures you cannot get any of the NITs because for NITs closing OBC rank usually varies around 15000-17000, for e.g. :

  • National Institute of Technology Agartala - Production Engineering (15723)
  • National Institute of Technology Durgapur - Bio Technology (14444)

And likewise. You can check out previous year's cut-offs from the official website of JOSAA as given below :-

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

Note that the above prediction has been made on the basis of latest cut-offs available on official website of either JOSAA or CSAB and the cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon various factors such as the number of candidates appearing in an examination, the number of candidates qualifying an examination, difficulty level of the paper, and so on.

So you can use JEE-Main College Predictor to predict your chances of admission in different engineering colleges of India on the basis of your JEE-Main 2021 result :-

You can also check out the expected JEE-Main 2021 cut-off and predict whether you have any chances to get qualified for JEE-Advance 2021 or not, so it is given below :-

** Common Rank List (CRL) - 90- 95 Percentile

** Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) - 70- 75 Percentile

** Scheduled Caste (SC) - 50- 55 Percentile

** Scheduled Tribe (ST) - 40- 45 Percentile

Hi

Your profile suggests that your home state is AP

With  76 percentile


Your obc rank will be around 80k - 95k

With above  rank, you have very low  chances in NITs .

For example,

Closing rank for some of the lower NITs for OBC  category under state is provided below in 6th round of josaa counselling 2020 :-


  • NIT Mizoram ,civil engineering :-14730 obc rank

  • Nit nagaland ,Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology) :-  15340 obc rank

  • National Institute of Technology AgartalaProduction Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology :- 15659  obc rank

  • National Institute of Technology, Surat:-Chemistry (5 Years, Integrated Master of Science):-16453 obc rank


You can verify the above at

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

So, to get a seat in NIT you should get at least around 15000 - 16000 OBC rank i. e around 94.5 - 95 percentile.



You have chances in colleges like

----------)Imperial College of Engineering and Research, Pune :- https://www.careers360.com/colleges/imperial-college-of-engineering-and-research-pune/cut-off?college_id=4117&exam_sub_exam_id=2&ici=college_view_cutoffs

This has been predicted on the basis of past year data but  cut off/closing rank for colleges keeps changing every year depending upon many factors like number of students that appeared in the examination, difficulty level of the JEE main question paper for different shifts etc

Based on your given percentile, your CRL rank would be around 250000+. In this rank ,the chances of getting seat in NITs is bit difficult. Although you can still apply for NITs counseling. If cutoff remains lower than previous year, then you could get some branch in Newer NITs like NIT Meghalaya, NIT Manipur etc.

Thanks!!!
