Hi there,.
Unfortunately your category rank is too low to get you a seat at any good nit in the electrical engineering branch.
If you want to get electrical engineering in top NITs then you must score a percentile of 96+ in the jee mains next year,if you want to take a drop otherwise if you are looking for college this year only then you can use our college predictor tool to see various college options.
