Hello Shruti, your ranking at just about 12000 in e w s is really good one, but getting a particular branch in a particular college is a very dynamic process. It actually involves what choices those placed above you will give and not only on your performance. In addition being a girl, I am sure there will be some quota for girls also if the numbers fall short in normal admission process.
