At an OBC rank of 2497 in JEE Advanced, it is probable to find many of the best IITs in India where admission might be possible although that differs from year to year depending on the branch's demand.Top IITs and branches to be most likely a part of:IIT Kharagpur: You may expect branches like Civil Engineering or Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.IIT Roorkee: Count on branches like Architecture Production and Industrial Engineering.IIT Bhubaneswar may offer you any of these options Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.What remains true is that all this will be really based on that cutoff for each of the branches at the time of council, which turns out to be different every year, based on various reasons such as the number of candidates and their performance among others. 

The required JEE Advanced score varies depending on the program/course and category of the eligible candidates. IIST is one of the reputed colleges in the country known for providing quality education to its students.  Minimum Marks Requirement in JEE (Advanced)–2024 Exam is as follows-For General category candidates - At least 14% marks in aggregate and at least 3% marks in each of the three subjects (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics).For EWS/ OBC-NCL category candidates - At least 12.6% marks in aggregate and at least 2.7% marks in each of the three subjects (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics). For SC/ ST/ PD category candidates- At least 7% marks in aggregate and at least 1.5% marks in each of the three subjects (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics)   

You can find the previous year question papers for JEE Mains and JEE Advanced from several reliable sources:Official Websites: The official JEE website (jeemain.nta.nic.in for Mains, jeeadv.ac.in for Advanced) often provides past years' question papers for free.Books: Many publishers offer books containing the last 25 years of JEE Mains and Advanced question papers, such as Arihant or MTG, which are available in local bookstores or online.Coaching Institutes: Institutes like Allen, Aakash, or Resonance often release compilations of previous year papers, sometimes including solutions or expert explanations.These stuff cann help you practice and analyze the types of questions that are asked in JEE exams over the years.

You have the best chance at securing a seat in one of the IITs with a prep rank of 555 in JEE Advance under the ST category. The exact seat availability may differ every year and branch wise but it is generally considered a competitive rank for some of the IITs especially in courses that traditionally have quite low cut offs compared to the top branches like CSE or ECE.Possible IITs and Branches:IIT Roorkee: You are likely to get a seat in the branches of Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering or Metallurgical Engineering.IIT Bhubaneswar: You might get your choice in Mechanical, Civil or Electrical Engineering.IIT Gandhinagar: Most likely, you will have an option for Electrical, Mechanical or Chemical Engineering. IIT Ropar: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Civil Engineering could be promising branches for you.IIT Indore: The branches might be Mechanical, Electrical or Civil Engineering. Things to remember:Opening and Closing Ranks: As per the number of seats available and also category-wise rank distribution, the cutoffs change every year.Choice Filling: Fill up a variety of IITs and branches that you are concentrating toward during JoSAA counseling and will maximize the chances of seat possibility.Considering the rank, it is indeed possible to get into one of the IITs but maybe not in such famous branches as CSE.

Getting admission in one of the best IITs like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, etc. for highly sought after branches Computer Science Engineering (CSE) or Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) would not be easy given the SC category rank of 1461 in JEE Advanced. However, quite a number of IITs would surely offer a chance of admission related to several branches.Possible IITs and Branch:IIT Roorkee:With this rank, you would have some chance of getting into branches such as Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Metallurgical Engineering. IIT Gandhinagar:You will get admission into branches such as Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Chemical Engineering. IIT Bhubaneswar:You may manage to get Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other branches depending upon the cutoff. IIT Patna:You may have chances in branches like Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Chemical Engineering. IIT Ropar:Your rank might land you, maybe, in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering. IIT Indore:You might get admission into Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Civil Engineering branches. IIT Jodhpur:You can also choose from different branches like Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Civil Engineering. Other Choices: Not So Much Sought Branches Mean: In such a rank, one would be better off in much less competitive branches like Engineering Physics, Chemical Engineering, or Civil Engineering as compared to highly coveted branches like CSE or ECE.
