First of all, I Congratulate you for getting a good rank in JEE Mains. In the previous 3-4 Years cutoff for JoSAA Round 6, the closing for EE in NIT-KKR was between 5k-6k OBC Rank. But Hold on!
There is another counselling after JoSAA which is known as CSAB Special Round Counselling. And here in the 1st CSAB Round itself the cutoff for EE in NIT-KKR is around OBC Rank 27k which shows that you can easily get EE in NIT-KKR if you are enrolled for CSAB Councelling. Leave EE, you can easily get CSE in NIT-KKR if you have registered for CSAB Counselling. Good Luck for your Counselling!
