The Round-2 NIT cut off 2020 or opening & closing ranks for the Mechanical Engineering branch of NITs can be checked below. Candidates will be able to get the latest information about the NIT opening and closing rank for ME below.

Q:   Can I get NIT with 95 percentile in JEE Main?
A:

It is possible for you to secure a seat in an NIT (National Institute of Technology), although it may not guarantee your preferred branch or institute. If your percentile is above 96, your chances of getting into a respectable NIT increases, but you may need to compromise on your branch selection. However, if you aim for a decent NIT with a preferred branch in the core field, you would need to score above 97.5%. On the other hand, if your goal is to get admission to a top college with the CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) branch, your score would need to be higher than 99.4%.
