The MANIT Bhopal CCMN cutoff 2025 has been released for Round 1 admission to the MSc courses. The cutoff has been released as opening and closing ranks across different categories of students belonging to the AI quota. For the OBC category, the first round closing ranks were between 511 and 1369. So, considering the latest round cutoff, if you belong to the OBC category, you must target a rank up to 1369 or less to be eligible for MSc admission at NIT Bhopal. Below are the MSc specialisation-wise CCMN first-round closing ranks of OBC category students:

NIT Bhopal accepts the IIT JAM entrance exam, followed by CCMN counselling for providing admission to its MSc course across multiple specialsiations. For 2025, the first round cutoff list is out, where the closing ranks varied between 511 and 1369 for the students belonging to the General AI quota. Please note that the cutoff ranks vary for different rounds, categories, and quotas. Provided below is Round 1 of the MANIT Bhopal MSc cutoff 2025 for the general AI category candidates:

The total tuition fee for the BTech course at NIT Bhopal is INR 5 lakh, and the total tuition fee for BTech at IIIT Hyderabad ranges from INR 10 Lacs to INR 18 lakh. Therefore, the NIT Bhopal is more affordable for BTech compared to IIIT Hyderabad. However, the fee structure is only one component that candidates consider while choosing the best among IIITs and NITs. The other components that candidates can consider are placement packages, seats, faculty, ranking, accreditation, etc. 

Earlier, NITs (including MANIT Bhopal) used to require 75% marks in 12th, or being in the top 20 percentile of your board.

But due to COVID, this rule was relaxed for the last few years.

The 75% rule is BACK for NITs (including B.Arch at MANIT Bhopal).

That means you must have at least 75% in your 12th boards (or be in the top 20 percentile of your board) if you're in the General category.

If you belong to SC/ST, then the requirement is 65% in 12th.

If your JEE Mains 2025 score is 158 and you belong to the OBC category, you cannot get Admission there.

Talking about their packages 

• Average Package: INR 12.78 LPA

• The highest: INR 56 LPA (2022 data)

Without a GATE score, getting a direct M.Tech. seat in Structural Engineering at MANIT (Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology) is difficult. However, some NITs, including MANIT, may offer admissions through institute-level quotas, sponsored seats, or non-GATE category admissions. You should check their official website for details on alternative admission processes.
