With an OBC rank of 39,000 in JEE Mains, you may not get top NITs or IIITs, but you can still get decent NITs (like NIT Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland) or state-level government colleges. Also, look into good private colleges like Shiv Nadar University, LNMIIT, or UPES that offer strong placements in CSE or IT. Focus on colleges known for good industry tie-ups and internships. Choose CSE/IT branches if you're aiming for better placements. Always check recent placement stats.
