Dear Aspirant,

Congratulations on scoring good marks and hence a good rank in Jee Mains. With respect to your marks, you have secured a rank close to 45000 to 46000 under general category or All India Rank. It is a good rank that will be able to get you admission in the new NITS and may be some IIITS or GFTIs. The top NITs provide admission to students with a maximum rank less than 20000. Therefore, it is difficult for you to gain admission in the top NITs. However, as you belong to the Scheduled Caste Category, you may have some chances of being a part of the top NITs.
