Ans: With a JEE Main percentile of 96.4 under EWS, you are eligible for CSAB Special rounds at several institutes whose last-round EWS closing ranks exceed your score. The following ten institutes offer CSE (or IT) seats with EWS cut-offs above the 96.4 percentile mark and maintain NBA/NAAC accreditations, modern computing labs, experienced faculty, strong industry tie-ups and placement cells recording 70–90% CSE placements over the last three years:

IIIT Guwahati (CSE) – EWS closing rank 31,651
IIIT Bhubaneswar (CSE) – EWS closing rank 60,347
IIIT Sri City (CSE) – EWS closing rank 54,179
IIIT Kurnool (CSE) – EWS closing rank 40,517
IIIT Nagpur (CSE) – general closing 37,273 (EWS likely similar)
NIT Arunachal Pradesh (CSE) – EWS OS closing 3,984–4,648
NIT Manipur (CSE) – EWS OS closing 3,940–4,727
NIT Puducherry (CSE) – EWS closing 79,718
IIIT Kalyani (CSE) – EWS closing 43,100–46,057
IIIT Kottayam (CSE-AI & DS) – EWS closing 54,451–55,798

MBM Jodhpur’s CSE/IT programmes are AICTE-approved and NBA-accredited, featuring modern software-development, networking and data-analytics labs, a 70–80% placement consistency over three years, average package of ?5.5 LPA, and on-campus training by Infosys, TCS and Wipro. Affordable fees, PhD-qualified faculty and a robust alumni network further bolster student outcomes.

Recommendation: Prioritize IIIT Guwahati for its focused CSAB EWS cut-off, advanced AI/ML labs and 89% CSE placements. Next choose IIIT Bhubaneswar for its robust computing infrastructure and 88% placements. Follow with IIIT Sri City for its metropolitan industry links and 95% CSE placements. Consider MBM Jodhpur as an affordable option with strong core IT training and reliable placement consistency. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Thank you sir for your reply, also are there chances of getting iiit surat and kota, as they are nearer to my hometown.

Ans: With your 96.4 percentile in JEE Main 2024 and EWS category status, you have limited chances of securing admission to IIIT Surat and IIIT Kota through CSAB rounds. Your percentile corresponds to an expected rank of approximately 42,000-44,000, which significantly exceeds the regular JoSAA cutoffs for both institutes. However, CSAB Special rounds offer expanded opportunities with higher cutoff ranks due to vacant seats and fewer applicants.

IIIT Surat shows moderate chances through CSAB Special rounds, with the 2024 Special Round 1 EWS cutoff for CSE reaching 39,963, making your rank borderline eligible. The institute also offers Electronics & Communication Engineering with slightly relaxed cutoffs. IIIT Kota presents very limited chances even through CSAB, as all its EWS cutoffs for CSE (3,948), AI & Data Science (4,251), and ECE (5,311) fall well below your expected rank range. The CSAB Special rounds for IIIT Kota typically maintain similar competitive thresholds due to the institute's popularity and limited vacant seats.

Recommendation: Focus primarily on IIIT Surat through CSAB Special rounds as your best opportunity, targeting Computer Science Engineering which showed the highest closing rank of 39,963 for EWS in 2024; simultaneously explore other IIITs and NITs with higher cutoffs through CSAB, while keeping backup options in state counselling and private institutes ready.
