If you have secured an EWS rank of 45930 in JEE Mains, your chances of getting into the top National Institutes of Technology (NITs) or Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) may be slightly difficult under the All India Quota, especially for popular branches like Computer Science or Electronics. However, you still have good chances in some newer NITs, IIITs, and Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) depending on your preferred branch, home state quota, and category reservation.
Here are some colleges where you may have a chance for admission:
Newer NITs such as NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Puducherry, etc. – You may get lower-demand branches like Civil or Mechanical.
IIITs such as IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Una, IIIT Kurnool, and other newer IIITs.
GFTIs like Assam University Silchar, Gurukul Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, or other state-level colleges that accept JEE Main scores.
Since you belong to the EWS category, you have the benefit of reservation which increases your chances. You should also apply through JoSAA counselling and select as many choices as possible during the option filling. This increases your chances of getting at least one decent college.
Extra tip : Keep an eye on spot round counselling and CSAB rounds after the main JoSAA rounds. Many students leave seats, and you may grab a better college during those rounds. Also, explore state counselling processes where your JEE rank can get you a better local college
