Ans: Nishita, With an All India General rank of 86 000 in JEE Main, seats in most National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) for popular branches will be closed. However, CSE and allied branches remain open at higher-cutoff NITs, while specialized GFTIs offer limited options.

NIT Sikkim (Ramnagar, Sikkim) admits CSE candidates up to rank 143 919 and Electrical Engineering likewise extends beyond rank 86 000. NIT Mizoram (Aizawl, Mizoram) closes CSE at rank 676 694, and Electrical around similar high ranks. IIITs do not extend CSE or AI seats beyond rank 86 000 in 2024. Among GFTIs, none offer CSE, AI or Electrical with closing ranks above 86 000. Mathematics & Computing is primarily at MNIT Jaipur (Jaipur, Rajasthan) but closes under rank 25 000.

Recommendation: secure CSE at NIT Sikkim for assured admission and robust infrastructure; consider NIT Mizoram for similar flexibility; explore private institutes like VIT Vellore CSE via home-state counselling for better placements and campus life. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
