National Institute of Technology, NIT H

Dear bhavuk,
NIT Hamirpur are one of the best colleges in north region. Placement is also satisfactory. Students first choices in NIT are NIT surathkhal, NIT Warangal, MNIT, NIT Patna their placement is far better than NIT Hamirpur.

NIT - Jaipur, Hamirpur and Rorkela are good engineering institutes as compared to others. The study and placement records are good. The average package offered is Rs.4 LPA to Rs.5 LPA.

Since there is no previous data to look upon regarding JEE Mains rank without considering board marks, I cannot exactly tell you the marks that you will need to get into VNIT Nagpur. I can give you the cut-offs, which are all either below 1000 or below 1500 in case of CSE branch and OBC Other State quota. But even so it is safe to assume that you will have to easily score above 250 in JEE Mains to have an AIR of 1000.

It would be safe to assume that 140 marks would mean a rank around 35k-40k. I am taking the upper bound to ensure the worst case scenario. If you want to aim for computer science and engineering branch only, then there is a very slim chance that you would be able to get into any NIT directly. You would have to opt for internal shuffling which comes with the obvious risk of getting stuck with a branch that you don't want. If you decide on another branch that you would like to pursue, then maybe you can get an NIT.

The following NITs are ranked better than CUSAT: Trichy, Warangal, Calicut, Rourkela, Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT), Durgapur, Jamshedpur, Kurukshetra, Jalandhar, Patna, Silchar and Hamirpur. It is obvious that CUSAT is not better than these NITs but it is not a bad choice if one can't get admission into any NITs.

I don't think that you can get admission in NIT Hamiprur through Management Quota as it is usually for the self-funded private colleges only and not for government funded colleges. Management quota is not available in NIT Hamirpur. Hence you cannot get admission here by management quota.

I would recommend PEC chandigarh for Mechanical. It is better than NIT Hamirpur definitely. PEC has been rated better in other branches as well and placements are also good.

You won't be able to get admission into NIT Hamirpur because your rank is too high. 5th and 6th round cutoffs will not be high enough for you to get a seat. Highest the cutoffs will go is maybe 60-65000, but not higher than that.

Sadly, no. Because the cut-offs for B.Arch. in other state quota for SC category ended at below 1000 for all four rounds of CSAB in 2015. Considering this year's first cut-off, the trend seems to be the same, with the cut-off maybe reaching around 1500, but not higher than that. I'm sorry, but you won't be able to get admission into this college in B.Arch.
