You will definitely get mechanical engineering and engineering physics with a rank of 5499, and that is 100 percent sure.

You can even get better branches with this rank. But given that you are asking about mechanical engineering so you will get IIT bhu, ISM dhanbad, IIT mandi, IIT Patna, IIT Bhubaneswar, etc.

You can also get the mentioned branch in IIT Roorkee and IIT Guwahati but you will have to wait for the successive rounds of counseling.

Good luck!

Hello willset, You have a oretty good chance of gettin mechanical engineering in IITs with that much rank you can apply nearly medium IITs. Though it is pretty hard to get seat in esteemed college like IIT bombay or IIT delhi but for small NITs you can get them easily.
