NIT Kurukshetra - National Institute of Technology

Hello,
Hope you are doing well. If you are from home state then you are eligible because the cut off opening and closing rank for General in ECE is from 7014 to 14576 for home state. While 5845 to 14060 for other state candidates. Based on this you are eligible to get a seat in ECE in NIT kurukshetra. All The Best.

I would say that CSE at PEC is much better than ITY at NIT Kurukshetra. The reason being the placements of CSE at PEC are very good and the department of CSE is also very cool. They have chilled out environment.

It depends, what kind of environment and exposure you want. HBTU has a very good reputation in CSE and paint technology so it can be preferred in this case but NITs are big name and provides you better exposure.

It depends on your personal choice if you want to go for higher education in US then prepare.

Yes, extracurricular activities like music, dancing, etc. are given a lot of importance. There are different clubs for different activities.

No, you will not get NIT with 49 marks in JEE Mains. But you can definitely get good colleges in your city as well as state.
Best of luck for your future and if there's any query, feel free to ask.

I think you are considering last year's cutoff as this year's counselling for NITs has not started yet. Well last year's cutoffs give you an idea of your selection and if your rank is near the last year's rank then you have the chance of selection. But no one can guarantee or predict the selection. As in my case last year's cutoff was 62k and at my time it 57k and next year was 66k. So it just depends upon the choices of the students. So stay calm, relaxed and positive. Best of luck.
