Hello student,

With a rank of 63,000 in JEE Mains and belonging to the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category, your chances of securing a seat in an NIT or IIIT may be limited, particularly for popular branches like Computer Science .

Potential Opportunities:

  1. NITs: Newer or Lesser-Known NITs: You might have a chance in some of the newer NITs or those with lower cutoffs. Examples include NIT Puducherry, NIT Nagaland, or NIT Sikkim. However, branches like Computer Science might still be challenging.

  2. IIITs: Newer IIITs: Institutions like IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, or IIIT Una may offer seats in branches related to Engineering or Information Technology.

  3. Other Institutes: Government-Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs): Look into GFTIs which might have less competitive branches available.
