Hello Aspirant. You mentioned you belong to OBC-NCL category, your CRL-AIR is around 49000 and your Category Rank is around 13000. As you belong to OBC-NCL category, your category rank will be considered during counselling. Based on your performance in JEE Main 2021, you have low chances to get admission at top branches of NITs even though you have good chances to get admission to CSE and ECE at other branches of NITs such as:

  1. NIT Delhi (ECE)
  2. NIT Mizoram (CSE, ECE)
  3. NIT Nagaland (CSE, ECE)
  4. NIT Sikkim (ECE)
  5. NIT Manipur (CSE, ECE)
  6. NIT Arunachal Pradesh (ECE)
  7. NIT Srinagar (ECE)
  8. NIT Goa (CSE)

and more...
