Dear Student, 

With a Bihar board percentage of 76% and a JEE Main rank of 3,87,000 (74 percentile), there is a very thin chance that you'll get into a top Computer Science (CSE) program at an IIT or NIT, but it's possible to get into other branches or potentially even CSE at some IIITs or private engineering colleges. We hope that we have answered your query successfully. Stay tuned to College Dekho for the latest updates related to admission, counselling and education news.
