With a JEE Main rank of 589397, unfortunately, it's highly unlikely that you would secure a seat in any of the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) for the academic year 2025.

NITs are premier engineering institutes in India, and the competition for admission is extremely high. The cutoff ranks for NITs generally fall within the range of the top few thousand to around a lakh, depending on the specific NIT, the branch of engineering, and your category. A rank as high as 589397 falls far outside this competitive range.

To give you a clearer picture, the closing ranks for even the less sought-after branches in the newer NITs typically stay well below the 2-3 lakh mark for the general category. For the more established and popular NITs, the closing ranks for most branches are usually within the top 50,000 to 1 lakh.

While there are reservations for various categories like OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, and PwD, these reservations provide benefits within the competitive pool of candidates. A rank of 589397 indicates a significantly lower percentile, making it very difficult to secure a seat even under these reserved categories in the NIT system.

It's important to have realistic expectations about your admission possibilities. With this rank, you should explore other reputable engineering colleges and institutions that accept admissions based on JEE Main ranks but have lower cutoff ranks. There are many private and state-level engineering colleges that could be good options for you to consider.

You might want to look into state government engineering colleges in your domicile state or other private engineering colleges that conduct their own counseling processes or consider JEE Main scores. It would be beneficial to research these alternatives and explore the admission criteria and cutoff ranks for those institutions.

With a JEE Main rank of 589397, it’s very difficult to get admission into any NIT, even under reserved categories, as NIT cutoffs usually close much earlier. Seats at NITs are mostly taken by students with much lower ranks. However, you can still look for admission in private engineering colleges or state government colleges that accept JEE Main scores. Also, consider writing other entrance exams or going for management quota if you're set on a specific college.
