Sir my jee CRL rank is 310693 and my caste is sc and my hs is assam is their any chances of getting nit iiit or gfti in csab . Sir please tell me

Ans: For an SC Category JEE Main rank of 18,653 and a General category rank of 310,693 with Assam as your home state, your chances of securing Computer Science or related branches in top NITs through CSAB Special Rounds are limited, as most closing SC ranks for CSE at core NITs—including NIT Silchar—remain below 8,000–12,000, even after special rounds. However, at Assam University Silchar, GFTIs, and select new IIITs and NITs (for circuit branches or less in-demand specializations), closing ranks for the SC category often extend much higher—sometimes beyond 18,000 for non-core branches or new locations, particularly for home state quota. CSAB rounds routinely witness drops in closing ranks due to vacant seats, maximizing the possibility of admission into peripheral branches, interdisciplinary programs, or at newer institutes. Analysis of recent years’ data shows that GFTIs and certain IIITs accept SC category ranks comparable or above your range; at Assam University Silchar (a GFTI), for example, SC closing ranks have gone much higher, making BTech seats realistic for you. Utilization of special counseling rounds and diverse preferences significantly increases your likelihood of gaining a seat.

Recommendation: For your SC rank, actively participate in CSAB rounds, prioritize Assam-based or northeastern NITs, IIITs, and all GFTIs, and apply widely to peripheral branches for higher success—your SC rank provides a reasonable shot at admission, especially if you include non-core specializations and emerging institutes within your preference list. Have 2-3 Private Engineering Collges of Assam as back-ups instead of relying only on CSAB. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
