HI Siddharth , 

Congrats on your Rank !!!!

You surely have scope of these branches . You can further do . M.tech and then get into Main Stream research and  R & D .

Apart from this you will also have an option to get better branches in New IIt's you will get branches like Chem. ,  Metallurgy , Textile Etc . 

If you get a good branch of your choice in NIT's you can surely go for it as some NIT's are better then some New IIT's
