With an OBC-NCL rank of 21,500 and home state Maharashtra, getting Mechanical Engineering in top NITs is tough. However, you may still have chances in lower NITs like NIT Agartala, NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, or NIT Srinagar, especially in later rounds. Getting into core NITs like NIT Trichy or NIT Warangal is unlikely with this rank. Use JoSAA counselling smartly and apply to multiple choices. Also, consider IIITs or state colleges for better chances.
