Such institutes organise their counselling process for admission.

There are a total of 31 NITs, 25 IIITs and 19 other GFTIs that participate in JoSAA counselling. The number of seats in these institutes can be checked below. Other institutes which offer admission based on JEE Main scores are from the states which do not conduct their entrance exams for engineering admission and include U.P., Bihar, M.P., Delhi, among others.

Q:   What should be my rank in JEE Advanced to get admission in top IITs?

A:
To secure admission to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), obtaining a rank around 5000 in the JEE Advanced examination is generally considered necessary. However, for admission to the top IITs, achieving a rank within the approximate range of 2000-2500 is typically required. It's important to note that the exact cutoff can differ each year due to factors such as the number of candidates, the difficulty level of the exam, and the availability of seats.

Q:   Will IIT seats increase in 2025?

The number of seats to be available in 2025 will be notified with the JoSAA counselling details.

Q:   Is a domicile Certificate required for admission to NITs?

A:
For joining IIT/NIT/IIIT through JEE, candidates are not required to provide a domicile Certificate. It is only NIT where admission is offered against the Home State quota and it is not determined on the basis of the state to which you belong but on the basis of the state in which you appear for your 12th board exam. The domicile Certificate is not required during JoSAA counseling. The candidates are given admission based on their JEE score.

Q:   How much rank in JEE Advanced is required for IIT Delhi?

A:

The IIT Delhi cutoff 2024 has been concluded for admission to the BTech and Integrated BTech courses. As per the JEE Advanced 2024 cutoff for the Last Round, the closing rank for BTech ranged between 116 and 4849 for the General AI category students. The toughest course to get into IIT Delhi was CSE. So, candidates seeking admission at this institute must aim to secure up to 4850 rank to be eligible for BTech admission. The required cutoff ranks will vary based on the categories you fall into.
