Hello Aspirant

The chances of getting a civil engineering seat in a top IIT with an SC rank of 2486 in JEE Advanced depend on several factors:

• Seat Availability: The number of seats allocated for civil engineering in each IIT varies.
• Cutoff Ranks: The cutoff ranks for civil engineering can fluctuate from year to year based on the number of applicants and their performance.
• Previous Year Trends: Analyzing previous year's cutoff trends for SC candidates can provide insights into your chances.

Given that the SC category generally has lower cutoffs compared to the general category, you have a reasonable chance of securing a civil engineering seat in a top IIT . With 2486, you will definitely get the top-ranking IITs because for the general category, a good rank to secure top IITs in JEE Advanced is above 4500 and because you are from the SC category, you will get top IITs.
