Should I take lower NITs or should I go for the colleges like VIT and SRM in which I can get main campus with good branch?

The East Point Group of Institutions accepts many exams for the BE course. The accepted exams are JEE Main, COMEDK, and KCET. Students can appear in any of these exams to get admission at EPGI. Students need to fulfil the eligibility criteria as well.

Amrut Institute offer admission in BTech and Diploma in Engineering based on merit in last qualifying exam. So, no JEE Main is not compulsory to take admission in Amrut Institute courses. 

With 57.8 percentile in JEE Main and 73% boards, getting CSE/AI in top government colleges is unlikely. But you still have good chances in private colleges through UPTAC/AKTU or direct admission.

Possible options:

KIET Group of Institutions

ABES Engineering College

Galgotias Coll
