Hello,

Taking the previous year cut off rank in to consideration. It is quite difficult to get seat in an NIT with such rank under SC category. However, here is the list of few IITs in which you have slight or low chances of getting seat based on previous year cut off

  • Indian Institute of Technology Jammu: Materials Science and Engineering- 3007
  • Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi: Bioengineering with M.Tech in Biomedical Technology (5 Years, Bachelor and Master of Technology (Dual Degree))- 3039
  • Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee: Chemistry (5 Years, Integrated Master of Science)- 3014

As you can see the cut off is below 3484 so the chances are very low to get seat in an IIT. But cut off is subjected to change it may increase or decrease depending on factors such as total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination and total number of seats available etc. So it may increase or decrease this year based on above mentioned factors.

We can not tell much about the hostels because have not been there as it is an online degree, but whenever I get there in the fests I can explore the campus myself and then I can make any comment on that, but tell from other people's experience it is very well.

Top iits for research

Verified Review

College Infrastructure

Since this is a distance/off-campus/online course, you won't get access to campus for regular study, but you can visit the campus with your official ID card. If we talk about the curriculum and academics, then you are going to have an IIT-level quality of education.
