Since EWS rank 26,066 is quite low, getting admission to top NITs or popular branches like CSE, ECE, or IT is difficult since these usually close below 10,000 EWS rank.
Don't lose hope, though! You can still get options in some of the newer NITs or less popular branches, particularly during the last rounds of JoSAA counselling.
NITs to Target | Likely Available Branches |
---|---|
NIT Puducherry, Mizoram, Sikkim | Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, Metallurgy |
NIT Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh | Production, Bio-Tech, Instrumentation, etc. |
Note: These are tentative and depend on this year’s cutoff trends. Check detailed cutoffs at NIT Cutoff – ?collegedunia
What you should do is fill as many options in JoSAA (all NITs + all branches) as possible, do not leave any counselling round, and keep backup options free like IIITs, GFTIs, or state colleges based on JEE Main score
