Hello student,

With an OBC-NCL rank of 9000 in JEE Advanced 2024, your chances of getting into the top-tier IITs are limited, but you can still explore opportunities in newer IITs or other reputable institutes. Here's a breakdown:

IITs:

• Older IITs : It might be challenging to secure core branches like CSE, ECE, or Mechanical in older IITs (like IIT Bombay, Delhi, Madras, or Kanpur) with a rank of 9000 in OBC-NCL. However, you might have a chance for less competitive branches (like Metallurgical, Mining, or Civil Engineering) in IITs like IIT BHU (Varanasi) or IIT Dhanbad (ISM) .
  
  

• Newer IITs : You have a better chance of getting branches like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, or Chemical Engineering in newer IITs such as:

  • IIT Bhubaneswar
  • IIT Ropar
  • IIT Jodhpur
  • IIT Patna
  • IIT Mandi
  • IIT Gandhinagar
    
    Other Options:
    
    
• IISERs or RGIPT : Institutes like the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) or the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT) could also be good alternatives, depending on your interest.
