you have an advantage of opting state domicile quota for NIT Raipur. With the branches like Biotechnology, metallurgical and material eng., mining engineering, chemical engineering etc which has closing rank is usually around 32k to 35k

Also, you can go for newer nits like

NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Sikkim, NIT Meghalaya with branches: Civil, EEE, Chemical or Biotech.

Your chances for IIITs are likely but for IIT it's quite difficult.

What you can do is keeping eyes on the counselling sessions like JoSAA & CGPET.

Hello Mahi,

While you may have a tough time getting a core tech branch in the top NITs/IIITs with a 32k OBC rank and 100k CRL, you would have some chances in establishing lower NITs/IIITs specifically with the home state (HS) quota + female reservation. Also, being from Chhattisgarh, you can narrow it down to specifically NIT Raipur, where girl candidates often get some relaxation in cutoff ranks.

You have a chance at branches like:

1. Metallurgy, Biotechnology, or Mining at NIT Raipur
2. Not CS branches in new IIITs (for example IIIT Una, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Kalyani)

I would suggest you check the JoSAA cutoffs for the past few years for your specific category and home state. This will give you a better idea. Also, keep the options open for round 6 and spot rounds, where often the cutoffs get lowered.
