Yes,starting with the 2024-25 academic cycle, DU's Faculty of Technology is filling all BTech Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics & Communication, and Electrical Engineering seats through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET UG). Your Class12 marks still matter for eligibility, but the merit list rides on your CUET percentile, not the old cut offs game.

With an AIR of 128567 in JEE Mains under OBC-NCL category, your chances of getting into core branches like CSE, IT, or ECE at most IIITs through JoSAA are very low. The closing ranks for these branches usually fall well below your current rank.

Previous Year OBC-NCL Cutoffs for Core Branches in IIITs are:

I suggest you to:

• Explore non-core branches or specialised programs in newer IIITs if available.
• Participate in all rounds of JoSAA counselling, including spot rounds.
• Consider GFTIs and state colleges where the home-state quota may help.
• Look into reputable private universities that accept JEE scores.

If you are cautious about the branch you are choosing and if its CSE then you might get some state government colleges assuming that you are a general category student, colleges like SLIET and other regional colleges will get you a CSE but if you are okay with any branch then you can easily get NIT at this rank. 

Since you have a 98.83 percentile in JEE Main, there are great chances of computer Science (CS) branch in various good NITs. Although you may find it quite competitive to secure CS in the best NITs like the Trichy, Warangal and Surathkal, chances are you will get CS in NIT Delhi, NIT Kurukshetra, NIT Durgapur, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Patna, NIT Raipur, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Goa, NIT Silchar and NIT Andhra Pradesh. Your prospects are better still, when you have a home-state quota or fall under one of the reserved categories. Make sure that the cut offs of the previous year are looked up in JoSAA counselling.
