Ans: With a JEE Main OBC-NCL rank of 20,223 from Bihar, your admission chances vary significantly across your preferred choices. NIT Patna CSE has an OBC closing rank of approximately 4,872, making it extremely difficult to secure. NIT Raipur IT closes around 25,212 for OBC candidates, putting you on the borderline. For metallurgy branches, NIT Jamshedpur, NIT Raipur, and NIT Durgapur typically have OBC closing ranks between 15,000-25,000, offering moderate chances. IIEST Shibpur Metallurgy has better prospects with closing ranks extending beyond 20,000. NIT Kurukshetra IT has OBC cutoffs around 15,000-20,000, making admission challenging. Electronics and Communication Engineering at NIT Jamshedpur and NIT Raipur closes between 20,000-28,000 for OBC, providing reasonable opportunities. As a Bihar resident, you benefit from home state quotas at NIT Patna, which reserves 50% seats for domicile students. Your rank falls within the range where candidates typically secure admission in mid-tier NITs for non-CSE branches. Metallurgy and ECE branches offer strong placement records with companies like Tata, Reliance, and various PSUs recruiting regularly.

The recommendation is to prioritize metallurgy branches at NIT Raipur, IIEST Shibpur, and NIT Jamshedpur, along with ECE at NIT Raipur and NIT Jamshedpur, as these options align well with your rank and offer solid academic environments and placement opportunities, while keeping NIT Patna choices through Bihar home state quota advantage. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
