i have scored 55 marks and am SC student....itz possible to get into any NIT's....!!!!...

Specifically NITs do not put any percentage restriction.
Even if there would be some percentage criteria then it would not go beyond 60%
for GEN category students and would not go beyond 55% for SC,ST and PH category
students. Therefore getting into an NIT is not at all a matter of being panic, as far as
the academic qualification is concerned.

From the year 2013 onwards there would be a common entrance test for admission to
all government engineering colleges so you can expect any new rule coming in front of you.

Whatever new rules come, it should be announced as soon as the notification for common
engineering entrance exam is published.

Normally NIT doesn't keep cut off marks for admission. For admission to any of the National Institute of Technology, candidate needs to apply only to the National Institute of Technology assigned to the state or Union Territory in which the school or college from where he/she has passed the qualifying examination, is located. He/she will be eligible for admission to NIT, subject to the following conditions::

- He/she should not be more than 23 years old as on August 1st of the same year (26 years for scheduled caste /tribe candidate, foreign student, ward of India-based staff posted abroad).
- He should have passed the 10+2, Higher Secondary Examination or its equivalent, with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English.
- Candidate will have to qualify in the AIEEE Examination.
So, you have to clear AIEEE and get sufficient marks to get call from here.
Best of luck.
