Thank you !

With your JEE Main CRL 476199 and OBC rank 173160, admission to Civil Engineering at Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology (IGIT), Sarang under JoSAA counseling is highly unlikely, since even civil branch closing ranks in IGIT usually remain within 50k–80k CRL (general) and much lower for OBC. However, you may try through state counseling (Odisha JEE) where cutoffs are sometimes more flexible, but chances are still very low. You should keep other private/state colleges as backup.

Hey! With a JEE Main rank of around 1 lakh, you still have a good chance to get admission in several engineering colleges that provide quality education at a reasonable fee. For government colleges, you can aim for NITs or GFTIs in branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering, as these usually have slightly higher closing ranks. For example, colleges like NIT Goa, NIT Puducherry, and NIT Srinagar might have seats available in certain branches.


Apart from NITs, state government engineering colleges are also a good option, especially under home state quota. They often have lower tuition fees and good faculty, so you can get a solid education without spending much.


If you are open to private colleges, there are options like VIT Vellore, KIIT Bhubaneswar, or Amity University that provide decent infrastructure and placements. However, the fees may be higher than government colleges.


My advice is to focus on branches that are less competitive, check all counseling rounds, and make use of state quotas if applicable. With proper planning, a rank of 1 lakh can still help you get a good college and start your engineering career success

fully.

No, you can’t use a previous year’s JEE rank for the current year’s WBJEE counselling. Only the JEE Main rank of the same admission year is valid along with that year’s WBJEE rank.
