Can I get admission to any NIT or IIIT with an EWS rank of 42286 in JEE Main?

<p>According to the EWS rank of 42286 collected from JEE Main, it seems nearly impossible to get entries into any of the top NITs or IIITs for the high branches like Computer Science, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering. However, there remain some opportunities to claim the following criteria:</p><p>Branch Preference: Admission might be achieved in those less popular branches like Civil Engineering or Biotechnology or Environmental Engineering, which have less competition, i.e., their cutoffs are lower than those for core branches.</p><p>Home State Quota: If you are going to apply to NIT or IIIT in your home state, you could get an advantage as the cutoff would be a bit lower in the home-state quota.</p><p>Category Relaxation: In some NITs and IIITs, the cutoffs might relax a little for the EWS category, but as far as your rank is concerned, it still remains quite high, thus making the chances slim for the top institutions.</p><p>It is better to check for the previous years' opening and closing ranks of your preferred branches and institutes so that you can get a more clear idea regarding the chances for you. You may also apply for some of the newer or less popular NITs/IIITs, which might have a slightly elevated cutoff.</p>
