I got 82.93 in jeemains 2020 under EWS category . any chances of getting seat in 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

Hey aspirant,

At first I would like to inform you that since you're a student of EWS cateogory, you somehow  have managed  to make yourself qualified for JOSSA Counselling to apply in several topmost NITs and IIITs.

However now directly coming to the point that as we all have known to the fact that the National Testing Agency (NTA) has not released the cut-off marks for the particular NITs and IIITs, so it's quite hard for us to tell about the precise cut-off marks of those institutions. Nevertheless according to our assumption, it can be estimated that with your this percentile it's one type of impossible to get chance in the renowned and topmost NIITs and IIITs , but there's a little hope for the other NITs like NIT Jamshedpur, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Raipur etc through JOSSA Counselling. You can also check the previous year's cut-off informations of top NITs and IIITs through the following links:

One point should be added here that your rank and percentile is perfectly suitable for many State Government Engineering colleges and top Private colleges, so you should also apply for State Level Counselling procedure.
