Hi

With  51 percentile

Your sc rank will be around 40, 000.

With above  rank, you have very low   chances in NITs, IIITs.

For example

NITs

Under other state quota closing rank for some of the lower NIT for SC category is provided below as 6th josaa counselling 2020 :-

  • NIT Mizoram :- civil engineering :- 8376 sc rank

  • Nit nagaland :- Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering:- 8641  sc rank

  • National Institute of Technology Agartala, Production Engineering :- 9207 sc rank

IIITs

Closing rank for some of the IIITs for which closing rank goes low are listed below along with their closing rank in the 6th round of josaa counselling 2020 for sc category  :-


  • Indian Institute of Information Technology(IIIT) Dharwad, Computer Science and Engineering  :- 9297 sc rank

  • Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara International Campus Diu (IIITVICD), Computer Science and Engineering:- 10040 sc rank

  • Indian Institute of Information Technology, Agartala, Computer Science and Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology):- 10226 sc rank

  • Indian Institute of Information Technology Bhagalpur, Mechatronics Engineering (4 Years, Bachelor of Technology) :- 11133 sc rank

You can verify the above at
