Mechanical Engineering

Hello Varun,
The cut-off for any NIT varies from year to year, also from branch to branch and also from category to category. There is a wide difference in numbers for general, OBC, SC/ ST and other reserved categories. If you just google you will find plenty of sites that will give you this information for the year 2017 and before and then you can see for yourself how it has varied across branches or even in the same branch across years in NIT Trichy. In view of the foregoing, I would like to advise you not to worry about cutoffs because this is not in your hand but think of how much maximum you can score in JEE Mains as this only will get u admission in your desired institution.

Preparing for an entrance exam like JEE Main, or for that matter MHT CET or KEAM, is no walk in the park. But, even if one crosses this hurdle with relative comfort, there are more down the lane that are almost like a web. Here we are talking about the complex admission processes weaved across different states. Take for example, the B.Tech admission process for other state candidates in Himachal, where you get 15% reservation for all India candidates; admission is first based on JEE Main rank, followed by merit in HPCET. Now if you move to Tamil Nadu, there is not much of a quota for all India candidates, but a limited 50 seats offered by Anna University, with admission based on 10+2 scores. Now, if you didn't know this subtle difference, you might spend fruitless time seeking admission to an institute in Tamil Nadu, based on your JEE Main score (if you had one), when you might have been better off applying for admission in Himachal. To ensure that no such thing happens and you maximize your chances, we urge you read up on the topic B.Tech admission for other state candidate. It will equip you with the correct and pertinent information, and make your life a lot easier. Admission are now open.
