NIT

With a CRL rank of 139000 and an OBC category rank of 46193, getting admission to NIT (National Institute of Technology) would be something tough; this is because the branches such as Computer Sciences or Electronics are really sought after. But here are some things to consider:1. Branch Preferences:Better chances would be more likely in those branches of fewer competitions such as civil engineering, biotechnology, or environmental engineering.2. Female Quota:Several NITS now have a female reservation quota and this brings down the cut-off just a little for female candidates.3. State Quota:Getting into the home state quota for UP will further lower this of domestic candidates.4. Cutoff Changes:Cutoffs change every year depending on factors like the number of students appearing for the exam, its difficulty, and the number of seats available. Although general trends indicate that a higher rank may not guarantee an admission at the top NITs, it still leaves a fair chance for low-ranked institutes or less competitive branches.Conclusion:The chances are quite bleak if you are looking for one high-ranked NIT for one of the most competitive branches. However, there is still a possibility for you in some not-so-popular branches or in other NITs with lower ranks in the cutoffs. Keep an eye on the official JoSAA counseling process and specifically the cutoffs in different NITs and branches.

The tuition fee for MCA courses at NIT Raipur is INR 2.1 Lacs and the tuition fee for MCA at NIT Patna is INR 2 lakh. Conclusively, the tuition fees of both the NITs are more or less similar. Hence, candidates who prefer affordable college can get admission to any of the institutes. However, the fee structure can be only one component that candidates consider while comparing IIITs and NITs but several factors can be taken into account while choosing the best college, such as placement packages, seats, ranking of that particular institute, affiliation, accreditation, etc. The fee amount mentioned is sourced from the official website/sanctioning body and is subject to change. Therefore, it is indicative. 

With a 66.83 percentile in JEE Mains and belonging to the ST category, you have a fair chance of securing a seat in some NITs or IIITs, particularly in less competitive branches or newer institutions. However, admission also depends on factors like the specific branch you prefer, state quota (home state or other state), and the cutoffs of individual institutes. Likely Options:1. NITs:- The newer and less competitive NITs like NIT Sikkim, NIT Mizoram, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Nagaland, or NIT Arunachal Pradesh might have a lower cut-off for ST candidates.   State quota can hugely increase your chances in your home state NIT.2. IIITs:  IIITs like IIIT Una, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Dharwad, or IIIT Ranchi might be feasible for some branches. Suggestions: - Participate in *JoSAA counseling* and fill in as many choices as possible to increase your chances.- Look for CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) special rounds in case the seats remain vacant after JoSAA.Maintain flexibility on branches and colleges for a seat.
