There are chances that you might get in if you fit a certain category. Also, your rank might get CS in any other government college except for IET Lucknow but if you are from the SC category, there might be a chance. Getting admission for core subjects might be harder.

According to most of the students, all the branches of IET Lucknow are better than KNIT CS/IT. This is so because IET is situated in Lucknow, the capital of UP.

I have friends from both IET Lucknow and KNIT Sultanpur and according to them, you will not get any of IET Lucknow or KNIT Sultanpur with this rank. Your OBC rank will not be of any help as selections in the spot round are done based on the general rank and there is no reservation. Also, at IET/KNIT, seats for core branches like CS/EC/ME, fill up first. 

If you are a fresher then I will suggest you take a year drop and appear for various entrance exams next year and, if you are not a fresher then, you can go to other colleges. You will not get the atmosphere like IET Lucknow anywhere else, and hence, taking a year drop will be the best in any case. The environment is very competitive at IET Lucknow. Even KNIT Sultanpur lags in this case. The location of IET Lucknow is perfect for coaching for exams like CAT, GATE, IES, IAS, etc.

There are primarily three major factors that determine whether a college is good or bad. These include - facilities, placements, and faculty. Let me provide you a brief insight about it, which might help you understand it a bit better.

Facility:Since JSS is a private college, the infrastructure and the facilities are much better than other institutes in the city.
