With a 48,919 rank in the JEE Mains, in which NIT college can I expect?

You can hardly get into NIT Arunachal Pradesh in biotechnology engineering, NIT Srinagar in Mechanical Engineering, or NIT Nagaland in Civil Engineering if you do not belong to the general category.

If these aren't your dream colleges then you must listen to my friend’s experience.

• He got around 48K ranking during his first attempt in the 2017 JEE Main.
• It was clear that he couldn't get into his dream college. He decided to drop a year and gave in maximum effort.
• He was nervous after the exam about his results and hoped that he didn't have to take another drop year.
• Finally, when the results were out it was ranked around 16K which was good enough to get into NIT Trichy.

It is suggested that a drop year could prove to be beneficial for you, as it helped my friend too. Study hard for a year and give your best shot. You will definitely score a better rank.
