Hello Joseph!

There is no option before you rather than waiting till spot counselling. It is better to wait till the CSAB spot counselling round. Even if you won't be getting NITs then I'll suggest you to try for GFTIs. There you will get a good branch in local counselling or spot counselling.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

70 marks is too low for other state NITs even for OBC-NCL category. But you may try for the NITs in the North-East or your home state NIT. Maybe you will get non-core branches if you are okay with that. Besides, I would suggest you to also apply to some private colleges for safety. You would get a general rank between 1,72,001-2,06,000.
